    I'll take some pics of the run and coop as it is today. It's held up very well, and easy to move around.

    I do have a roost in the coop. Not sure of all of the breeds. 2 are Brahams. I heard they were good winter birds, not sure how true that is. These are my first chickens. I went out at about 4a.m. this morning and 3 birds were in there. I think last night was the coldest night yet. Then this...

    Hi All, I have a knob question that I think I know the answer too, and Im sure has been discussed. Just looking for some feedback from people in the area. I live near Valley Forge and have 5 hens. They have a small coop , 4'x4' and a a nice size run with a roof, 10' x 8'. Should I be worried...

    Bully breeds - share your dogs!

    I love the Presa's. Gentle giants. Below is a link to my CL add. I'm looking to find a few good homes, but it needs to be the right fit. I should post a few pics of my daughter putting chickens on the dogs head so everyone gets a sense of how gentle they are...

    Bully breeds - share your dogs!

    These are actually Cane Corsos. They are Mastiffs originally from Italy. This breed was almost extinct back in the 80's. There were only a very small handful of documented dogs. These dogs were breed and litters started coming to the US.

    Mini-van-coop-fire evacuation-mobile, PREDATOR BREAK IN!

    Hey Hummingbird! Just saw your thread. What a cool set up you have! I’m excited to see how the wheels work for ya. I was skeptical on mine all the way up until I moved it. Once I did, I couldn’t believe how well this simple design worked.

    Movable Run

    I left the birds in the run with coop door open last night, and had the dog roaming the yard just in case. She gave a few warning barks but thats it. So the plan at this point is to lay that fence on the ground at the base of the run and let them decide wheather to stay in the run or the coop.
