    Diatomaceous earth

    You have to love people that take the time to find references. Thank you for your effort.

    Tractor Supply Chicks

    TSC in Dothan and Eufaula, Alabama finally got theirs this morning. Sent the wife to grab some twenty minutes ago.

    Poop under my coop

    I would use a pitchfork with hardware cloth wrapped around it and wire tied.

    Windows, on the cheap ( how)

    I found some large windows for cheap and took them to a glass shop and had them cut to my size. I then cut some frames and installed the glass. 5 windows cost me 23 dollars with the glass cutting.

    (FINISHED) New coop! FL, tin roof, bantam tractor, Christmas lights, pictures!

    Wow, using lap joints very nice. I don't have the patience for that. It will add some strength to it though.

    How did your username originate?

    I just thought how interesting would it be to encounter a Bipolar Hippo? It stuck.

    Pallet Jack Pot

    Hey I'm with you. This summer I found two pallets for heavy machinery 4' x 6' x 10' for the bases. I also have a local newspaper company which puts ads out begging for you to take the pallets behind the building. The good wood is saved, the bad wood goes in the fire pit.

    A New Gun

    Just remember that many of your predators are also protected by game laws and such. Particularly the Owls. Just be careful when you make the decision and only point the gun at something you're willing to kill. Once the bullet leaves, it can never be taken back.

    Tires for nest boxes?

    There is too much bad stuff in tires. Like P-Funk said there is a reason you can't just throw them in the trash.

    New run-comments?

    I think the run looks good. I'd look for some white to paint it with, so it matches the house and coop.

    I'm giving a shout from the great metropolis of Headland, AL.

    Rubber roofing for floor?

    I'm interested in any responses as well. i have a bunch of pond liner pieces that I think I can use in my coop for a floor or poop catcher, etc.

    Design of overhead roof

    I'd include a sketch of what you want to do. Then everyone can get a better feel of what to use. If you use 2x6 or 2x8 you may be able to stretch the 4x4 vertical distance.

    ?dangerous soil?

    Can you put down a base layer of gravel and then sand on top of that? I'd be worried about mercury bioaccumulating in the eggs or meat.

    ideas for free/cheap materials

    I'd second the pallets, they are usually hickory and oak. They will rot quickly unless sealed. Also, home construction site dumpster diving.
