    Totally Different Feathering

    I got 2 olive Egger chicks last week. I’ve been reading here about wing/feather development in helping to sex chicks. I know it’s wayyy to soon to tell, but there is a significant difference between the two. I can see 3 rows of wing feathers and tail feathers on the larger one, and only 2 rows...

    New Coop- 10x16 Shed Conversion

    Added this exhaust fan to the shed today. It pulls a lot of air out of the coop/shed. Going to be a lifesaver come summertime!!!

    Pullet-Shut Door Owners Question

    For those of you who own the Pullet-Shut door, what power source did you go with? I have electricity in my coop, so I was going to just go with the plug-in adapter. The owner told me that with any power surge, my settings would erase and the door would override to the photo sensor if I went with...

    Ant Poison in the Run

    Not using my brain at all…I did some ant spot treatment in my future run. It’s been about a week, and my girls are still several weeks from being ready to use the run. I plan to water the heck out of it where I treated and hopefully dilute it to a safe level. Anyway, I used Spectracide Lawn...

    Ladder or No???

    10x4’7” coop and a 16x40 run. We thought about taking off a couple sheets of metal and wiring it to make it more open air. If we don’t do that, we will be cutting holes for large vents at the top ends. I can also keep both doors open during the summer. My last coop was 4x8 with crosswind...

    Ladder or No???

My highest roost is 3’9” off the ground. Still in the planning phase, so I can changes things. Do I need to put in...
