Be careful with that type of run, that is what I had and someone's dogs went over my fence. Needless to say I am chickenless at the moment.

A friend of mine had a similar problem. He built his run up with sand. When you put the concrete up I would fill the run up to it with sand. Sand will drain fast when it gets wet. And it may avert the water away from the run too! JMHO

Quote: Actually my cement blocks that I put against the bottom of the doors were moeved and setting up just like I had moved them back to open the door. Looks like someone came to get their dogs. But they sure did not tell me!

Quote: And I learned the hard way this week that a dog will climb a fence too! Wiped out the whole flock while at work!

I just wanted to warn everyone that a dog will climb a fence and you better have a good top on your run. I lost all of my flock Friday to a couple of dogs while I was at work. They ate most of my Roo but just killed the hens. So be forewarned all of you using deer netting or nylon netting for...

I would put me a piece of sturdy wire in the middle from one eyehook to the other to keep them from standing in the food. Just my opinion!

If money was not so tight right now, I would love to have something like that! Very good job!

Now if you just make them to pull out to the ouside, easy egg collection!

IMO you can give them anything you want to. If they were raised by their mothers, they would scavenge around and eat all kinds of things. The Silkie Roo I just had to rehome, loved bananas. I did not give him a lot of them, but if I was eating one I would break off a small piece for him.

Quote: It says you can give to animals in their feed, but does not give how much! But you can use like I did for any animals.

I think you can use it for any animal. It is guaranteed safe for humans, animals and plant life. You can use the manure right away according to the website: It is made by Agritec, below is the page with the description for poultry. There is one for household use too...
