    Concerns Over Coop Location During Sandy!

    Thanks all for your suggestions. We went with the rock wall and everything turned out fine. Actually kept the rain off the food in the lower part of the coop so no soggy yucky mess either. The girls stayed in the tractor on Monday but were back to their daily "outings" on Tuesday. Hope...

    Hello, Newbie from Fort Worth, TX

    Welcome to BYC! Enjoy the new flock! My 3 y.o. is my helper. He wants to go "check on the chickens" several times a day. Followed by wanting to "pet" the chickens and "hold" the chickens. It's lots of fun!

    New from Texas Hill Country

    Welcome to BYC! So sorry to hear about the loss of your flock. We lost all three of ours last year to raccoons and now have the Fort Knox of chicken tractors (complete with padlocked doors on the coop and run portions). Good luck with the design modifications and with the next batch of chickens!
