    Mama Heating Pad

    I was thinking about doing that but the heating pad would have no support. I think I will have to turn heat down some more and see if that helps and maybe not have so many chips in there so there is more head room

    Mama Heating Pad

    Hi Everyone: I am getting two new baby chicks on Friday and I thought I would try out the mama heating pad method this time. I made a half hoop out of hardware cloth and I am using a heating pad for a water bed we had. I then covered the pad with a towel and wood chips. The only problem I am...

    yes it is. The run and coop are in a yard surrounded completely by the solid corrugated metal fence. We put chicken wire all around the bottom too but there are no supports so netting or chicken wire just sags and probably would collapse if a racoon or something got on it. I will be locking...

    I tried the bird netting but it sags too far because there is nothing supporting it in the middle. I will be locking the hens in the coop at night so hopefully the raccoons or any other night critters won't get them. It was just the hawks I was worried about mostly

    I have a large run area for my chickens (about 12 x 18 feet) with a corrugated 50 inch metal fence surrounding it. We were thinking about simply do a grid with heavy rope as a ceiling for it and maybe hang cds or something . Opinions on whether this would be good enough protection against...

    Hi my name is Judy and my daughter and I wanted to start raising a few chickens. The space we had in mind is fenced area behind my daughters garage. The fence is about 5 feet high and made of metal. We are building a coop and we thought this would be a good place for the chickens to roam...
