    Pinless Peeper/Poultry Blinders?

    :::bump::: Does anyone who use these have a nipple water system and can you tell me how they work with your chickens trying to get water out of the nipples?

    Our temp. coop

    Thankfully our local chicken expert came by and our coop is fine. Better than fine. We're good! Off to swap the roosters for hens and a move to the new place.

    Our temp. coop

    The afternoon sun can get hot... but my hot is up to interpretation. It's a dry heat and it never gets about 82-85 here. Plus we always have a nice breeze. Heck, we don't even have air conditioning in our house, it never gets that hot. I don't think any one here has air conditioning. Never seen...

    Our temp. coop

    Nope. With all the vents we've put in, it's plenty. Side note: Do you happen to ride a Hayabusa?

    chain link fence

    I know I'm overly paranoid.. being an animal lover, I don't want to risk losing any of our kids, so we used that small hardware wire on our run, instead of regular chicken wire. We've been debating on a large chain link dog kennel for our run when we build our fancy coop and I think if we do...

    Our temp. coop

    Made from all recycled material we had laying around, so it's not the prettiest, but it was free! The house... looks like they have a chimney, but it's the inside waterer. Pop the cap off and stick the hose down inside to fill it up. They're little run. I put the sunblock cloth on the top...

    Question for land owners

    We have ours approx. 8 feet from along side our house. Using DE, we have no flies or smell. I wanted it close enough to hear them (and anything trying to get in uninvited) and it's next to a hose for water plus it's approx. 3 feet from an in-ground composter. Easy to toss treats to the girls and...

    Food and water in coop or run or both?

    Quote: I'm going to be wrapping the pipe. We made a waterer from PVC pipe with nipples. I think winterizing the pipe like I do my regular pipes (sprinkler valves, etc) should be fine. If I have to, I'll build a box type frame around the pipe so the kids don't peck at the winter wrapping. As...

    Food and water in coop or run or both?

    We have water inside and outside. Food is inside. Our waterer's are made from PVC pipe with nipples so there's no water mess and within 30 seconds of installing them, they were pecking at the nipples for water. I keep the food inside the coop so I don't attract animals at night. Plus, my "kids"...

    Question regarding placing the chicken run on burned soil

    Thank you 7LFarm, bryan99705 and BoltonChicken. I know the only thing burned there were leaf piles. Literally nothing eles in the piles. We plan on putting sand down in the run but I knew they'd scratch down. But I'm so happy to hear it won't be a problem! Thanks so much for taking the time to...

    Brand new chick parents!

    Today we picked up 6, 2 week old babies. They're soooo adorable... and as new 'parents', we couldn't ask for anything better than BYC and all the GREAT threads, answers, etc. we've found here. We've trolled for a looooong time as we've planned how, when, where to bring our flock into our lives...

    Question regarding placing the chicken run on burned soil
