    Draft proof, but ventilated

    I want to brood my chicks that are en route outside with their mama heating pad after they are one or two weeks old. We just moved to this house with a coop already made.

    Cleaning used coop

    Oh goodness! Ok. I'm sort of a germaphobe, so I tend to go overboard. I will look for some permethrin spray. How long after that is spread should I wait to put bedding and chicks in there? Just until it is dry? Thank you so much for all of your help and insight. I will post pictures when we go...

    Cleaning used coop

    Oh yikes! How do I treat for those mites? I am planning to scrub scrub scrub with dawn and vinegar, rinse super well, let dry, then spray bleach and let dry. What step can I add to kill possible mites??? Yuck ' I had pictures but I think I deleted them by accident

    Cleaning used coop

    We are moving to a house with an existing coop where 4 hens live. The hens will move with the sellers, but I was wondering how I should disinfect the coop? The run is TINY, so I will have a nice big one built. The coop itself is very nice except for the chicken wire on the windows - going to...

    Help with run size please, due to sod

    I love your username - it would suit me too. My DH certainly thinks I am something like flocking nuts. Nope, no go on the fence. I am determined to try and find a supplier that grows their sod without all of that junk. Herbicies break down fairly quickly, it's the insecticides that are the huge...
