    Chickens and Shade Plants

    These are temp quarters for these girls and boys but i have 5 that will move in for good. The wire is crazy i know but i needed a cover on short notice.

    Chickens and Shade Plants

    I'm in north carolina so my main concern with weight is when they get wet or have snow on tthem. Would i have a problem if i planted the vines outside the run and the chickens peck the vine as it grows?

    Chickens and Shade Plants

    I currently have my chickens in a run covered with wire and I have scrap metal leaning against the run to provide shade. My problem is that it's an eye sore. I thought about planting something that would grow over the run and provide food but thought it could get too heavy and come crashing...

    Will chickens fly out of a large run?

    Im building a new coop and run so currently don't have a fence. Wanted to find out how tall it needed to be first. The chicks that will be going into the new coop are rhode island reds and barred rocks. Currently have them in a tiny pen with a wire cover till they get bigger.

    Will chickens fly out of a large run?

    If you give chickens a large enough run to forage in will they still fly out? I have a bad pest problem in my area so I've had to stop free ranging but i want to give them as much room as possible. While at the same time make it easier for me to herd them back in at night.

    Possible Raccoon Problem

    They roost under trees so i dont think birds of prey should be an issue. As for the catch and release, got any advice for bait?

    Possible Raccoon Problem

    Cant use a trap as i have cats as well to help keep rodent population down. My chickens roost outside on the top of their roost so raccoon would have an easier job getting to eggs.

    Possible Raccoon Problem

I had a nest of roughly 12 to 15 eggs in the corner of my coop that my hens was hatching i went to check on it the other day and it had been ransacked and i checked it when i woke up and the rest of the eggs had been busted open and...
