    Transitioning from roofed to roofless run

    Are you allowed to have a shed? Maybe you can disguise it as a shed. If you use wire to cover the top in order to keep all the predators out you should use the 1/4 inch hardware cloth or the 1/2 inch hardware cloth. Anything bigger than that will let predators in.

    add a simple run. There are plans online for free using either wood or pvc pipe and hardware cloth and a tarp or roof.

    Coop Questions

    I hope you have found an answer by now, but you can line the floor with linoleum or use metal baking trays or plastic plant trays to help keep things clean, clean easier. Also, I am now hearing a lot about PDZ as something to use instead of pine shavings or sand.

    Building a Coop

    Use 1/4 or 1/2" hardware cloth. 1/4 is the only one that prevents mice from getting in.

    Building a Coop

    I am surprised more people don't mention pdz for chicken coops. It sounds wonderful. I plan to get some.

    Two of my hens are aggressive towards me! I don’t even want to go in the coop now😱

    You are the alpha. Hold the hen down on the ground like a rooster would for a couple minutes in front of the others. She should become docile after that.

    Help a newbie out?

    Hardware cloth 1/4” or 1/2” is better than poultry netting. It’s stronger and due to the size of the mesh can keep out more predators. How often do you clean the run out ? The flies are attracted to the rotting smell of the poop and any food scraps.

    My rooster all of a sudden can't walk.

    Layer feed has too much calcium for roosters and can cause kidney problems.
