    How important is having a top on the run?

    Just got mine done, and I did cover it. We have hawks, eagles and racoons. Just wanted to be safe. Take care all. Mike

    Tell me about shotguns (and a little about pellet guns)

    Words of advise to all who have guns... Stock pile on ammo... Besides the fact of rising prices for ammo, there are those in high places that would like to hinder the sale thereof... If you reload, better yet. Mike

    Senate May Restart Mandatory Animal ID Talks

    I think the politicians should RFID chip themselves, and maybe their spouses could keep track of 'em easier... Just a thought.... Mike:bun

    Well, I went with the 2x4, with the wide side up. Seems to work just fine. Thanks for the info everyone. Mike

    thanks for the info. I was having a heck of a time finding a 2" diameter wooden roost. Have a good one.

    Roost

    I'm still real green at this. Just got my coop built, and I was wondering if the roost needs to be round, or can you use something like a 2X2 or a 2X4? Thanks for the help. Mike

    Coop Floor

    Thanks for the advise on the linoleum. I think I have some laying around. Should make it easy to clean. I'm thinking about the deep litter method too. Have a good one. Mike

    Coop Floor

    Oh wow! That does not sound like fun falling face first into it. I did the same thing with one of my horses years ago... Thanks, and have a good weekend. Mike

    Coop Floor

    Just got my coop put up, and it has a plywood floor. What's the best thing to cover the floor with for cleaning? Thanks. Mike

    Thermostat in the coop

    P.S. Looks like you may be using something different, so let me know if you need a schematic. And if so, what heater voltage/wattage are you going to be using? Mike

    Thermostat in the coop

    Hey Big Charlie: I'm new to chickens, but am a licensed electrician. I'll draw you a basic schematic for wiring a thermostat for heating, and a separate one for cooling. I'll e-mail it to you. It's real easy to do. Not too expensive either. Take care, Mike

    Question on Chicks

    Was wondering how old I should wait before I try to clip their wings, and starting to feed them treats like veggie scraps, worms, etc. Thanks. Mike
