    Bumble Foot No Kernal

    Ok, wow! That looks very uncomfortable for him. I have a hen who had similar swelling , and like yours the bottom seemed fine. I soaked, and made a small incision in the area with the most swelling. If I remember correctly we had to really force the pus out and yes, there was a bit of blood. Her...

    Thinking About a Large Pole-Barn Coop in DFW — Need Opinions!

    Couple more things… Knowing that the hardware cloth was a great dust collector, i might think about the 1”x1” wire for the top area only. I have to dust it off weekly. The less i dust it, the more the fans need to be dusted.

    Thinking About a Large Pole-Barn Coop in DFW — Need Opinions!

    Hi there as far as the winter goes all I do is I put a tarp over the front because that’s where most of the wind and the cold comes in and I only put it down maybe one or two days out of the entire winter, it doesn’t get that cold here. I don’t ever put any heat source of any kind because of...

    Thinking About a Large Pole-Barn Coop in DFW — Need Opinions!

    Hey there, yes thats my coop in Southern Texas! I love the space we have for the girls, yet wish I had built a dedicated room(think concrete floors/solid wall for feed storage) Right now i use large trash cans to store all the feed, but of course the chickens roost on them every night and I love...

    Possible Bobcat ( behavior unusual )

    Yes it sure is. How many have you lost to the bobcat? I am sorry you are now dealing with it.

    Possible Bobcat ( behavior unusual )

    Thank you all for the help. We found out it was a bobcat. I saw it a few more times, and shot at it, may have nicked it, but it never did return. It killed so many hens, and several roosters. I never did understand why it came around every 2-3 hours, just to kill 8 or so hens then leave, only to...

    Ok, thanks. My current coop in a different county is a little confusing. I know they don’t count it, however it’s right next to another shelter, so from the sky it looks like one long pole barn. They only tax us on the shelter right next to the coop, per the square footage.

    Texas

    True, however I am trying to figure out if anywhere in that law does it state a size. I truly am only using it for a coop, I just tend to not cull the older girls. So as you can imagine, I have quite a few ladies that don’t lay, just live out the remainder of their lives with me. Yes, I know...

    Texas

    It’s hasn’t been built yet, so there is absolutely nothing there. I am just in the planning stages and originally wanted to figure out if there is a size listed somewhere that I can’t go over. I was planning on a 24x36 pole barn, however in the state law, I can’t find a thing about sizes...

    Let me ask you, what do they label it as? Is it just not listed as a building of any sort? Or does it show up as exempt?

    Texas

    Thanks. That’s the thing, I would like to avoid a huge fight on the chicken coop because we will already be going head to head on the house. The house is currently not being lived in, (no homestead) and they didn’t put the circuit breaker limitation on it last year. Since it’s not in our name...

    Correct, I don’t want them to tax me on this new pole barn that will only be used as a chicken coops. No, it’s a rural area, so no restrictions on animals. Only thing is, it’s near the coast, so we are having the builders certify it for 150 mph winds.

    Good evening everyone! I already have chickens, and a large coop here in Texas, however we may be moving in a couple of years to a larger home with more acres. I have a few questions before I even begin to hire a pole barn company-any to build this coop. Question regarding Texas ad valorem...
