    RIR Gender?

    I have one just like Nutmeg/Nutmax and thought for sure it was a rooster to be. Yours is almost the same age too. It looks like you stole the pictures from me. My "rooster" has now layed six eggs, six days in a row! I think you will have the experience.

    arrgggggh drainage

    I had the same problem and a french drain did the trick. Once installed though you also have to make sure silt from erosion doesn't get into the gravel or over time it plug the system. I know this from experience. The gravel around the coop and run is the french drain system. You can see...

    My smelly chicken run...

    I grew up in little town on the Central Coast of California called Lompoc. Lompoc has one of the highest deposits of DE in the world. Some of the hills look like they have deposits of snow. We played in and around it, and when the wind blew the right direction, the dust tailings from the...

    The Coop You Need When Society Breaks Down

    Quote: Keep goats on the stairs, they like to climb! If you place the chickens above the tub in advance you will be able to experience the bleep storm before it hits!

    Framing with screws or nails???

    I used external star drive deck screws. You don't even have to buy a bit because one comes in every box! Even if the bit comes out of the head and spins at high speed they won't strip and if you have a cordless drill it's heaven.

    I grew up with a closet like that and a feeling there was a presence (actually 2, Lola and Henry I called them). Even at age 18, before I went away to college, I was creeped out and sometimes downright scared. And when I did move I felt that presence where ever I lived. Not a closet door...
