    PVC pipe feeder

    1" holes, I would say no. You can pick up a Saw Hole Bit. If you have no other use for a Saw Hole Bit, borrow one or buy a cheapo for $6-8.Hope this helps...

    Beginning coop construction...

    Very nice coop! I keep my birds restricted to the coop for a couple of weeks and are using the roost. I then allowed them in the run for month. I do have a roost in the run, it is away from the run walls and out of reach of predators. The run roost is also small enough to discourage roosting...

    Smart weasel-dumb weasel

    Found this thread and wanted to comment. A simple rat trap with bloody raw meat tied to the trigger with floss will take care of them or a set up like a weasel box. Look up a local Trapper, he will be glad to help you out.

    We had very little snow this winter, but all went well anyway. The birds seem to spend the majority of their time in the run too. I only used the plywood panels on the north side. The birds freaked out with the west side on and I could not watch them from inside with them on so they were left...

    Rip

    I started these six Red Sexlinks May 09', been free-ranging them. Three were taken in two different occasions due to dogs, during the day. The last three were on the loose roaming everywhere for over a year without an incident. They would greet me nearly every day at the rear garage door, then...
