Can someone tell me if they crow after being caponized? THanks!

Do any of you have the solar powered electrified fencing? I was reading the package and said something about weeds affecting the wire & circuit... Any experience with this from anyone?

Quote: Hello! Are the plastic roofing sheets nailed in or screwed in? How are they water tight?

Quote: Hello! When the turkeys are full grown, do they fit in the pop doors?

Quote: Thank you so much for the pix! Do I install the boxes before I put up the T1-11 sheets, or after they're already up? One more question,...(sorry)... Do you need to waterproof the hinges on the lid that opens up?

Quote: Cool beans! Thanks to all of you for your quick and helpfull replies!

Quote: here you go - attached is the pic of the roofing - it is very simple.. and yes the chickens get talk radio 24/7 https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/32670_img_1219.jpg Cool. I'm considering a covered run, but just have to figure out the framework system for the metal roofing...

Those are all really good tips! Thanks to all! What about ground hogs? I've got them EVERYWHERE! I see them daily. What are they attracted to? Are they a danger to my chickies?

Quote: That's a GREAT idea! I have seen a few cats....few and far between. Very cool lure, though!

Quote: Thanks for the tip!

Quote: Very good points. I'm getting a mixed flock. I'm like you,....I can't decide which ones to get. I'd like to get some dark chocolate and blue/green layers. I want pets,...not show birds.

I know that I have coons and oppossums on my property. Trying to get rid of them before chickies come...

....do you guys suggest for those trap cages with the fall down door? I've used cat food and peanut butter with no luck? What do you guys recommend? Can I put meat in it? Will something come get it if it's spoiled?

great looking coop & run! Can you please post some pix of your roofing system? How you attached those pieces of roofing? Rafters or posts? Thanks a bunch!!!

For the life of me,.....I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW YOU GUYS ARE ATTACHING YOUR EXTERIOR NESTING BOXES!!! Am I THAT slooooooow...??? Please help me...
