    Truck Bed

    Makes sense, I was worried they may fall through it too. Especially if I want an automatic door for them.. back to the drawing board!

    Broody Hen

    Hi All, I have a broody hen who is laying on eggs. I have marked them so I know which ones she is sitting on. My question is, can I leave her in the coop/run with the others to raise the chicks? She's high in the hierarchy and the other hens barely let me near her when I go in to check their...

    Mean hen

    I did try this yesterday and it got the whole flock in an up roar. But I'll be persistent with it and keep trying.

    Mean hen

    I have a hen who used to be the sweetest and friendliest pullet. Now when I go out there she pecks at my boots, she attacks my hands when I go to pet the other girls, feed snacks, grab an egg, check food, etc. I have picked her up and carried her around and away from the flock and that helped...

    Winter Water

    I have not tried it. I worry about them tipping it and getting the bedding wet and the humidity it would cause.

    Winter Water

    My door faces Southeast and I crack it just enough for them to get in and out, I leave a large stick in there so it doesn't close. My extension cord is frozen to the ground so I can't move their heated water dish inside. Its surrounded by straw and blocked from the wind so their water doesn't...

    Winter Water

    Its pretty ventilated, but my extention cord is frozen to the ground, so I can't move it and the freezing weather should be leaving this coming week. It would only be for Saturday they'd get water offered 2x

    Trying not to freak! -40°F!

    I feel the same! I'm in MN real temp is -25 without windchill 🥶🥶.... I have my chickens locked in their insulated, but unheated coop. I bring them eggs and oatmeal in the AM, hot water 3x a day to drink(I take it out with me but make sure everyone has a drink) and then some scratch before...

    Neighbor Dogs

    Yeah they're run is 16x16x12 and covered with chicken wire. So their run is secure as we have wire going 2 feet under and 2 feet out for any diggers. I just feel bad that they got used to coming out and now they're locked up. I do give them lots of stuff to do with hanging veggies and hiding...

    Neighbor Dogs

    Yeah we have 2.5 acres so fencing isn't an affordable option. Maybe they'll just have to suck it up until I can sit outside, we live in MN so right now isn't an option.
