    I’m in Riverside/Jurupa Valley area. What does a dozen eggs sell for around here? Having excess eggs and family is interested in eggs and donating to the chicken feed fund.

    Self filling water bucket.

    Good to know about that, I had no clue. I have 9 chickens and this is perfect. But good to know if I need a higher water capacity. Thanks!

    Self filling water bucket.

    I’m in Southern California where it doesn’t get freezing cold. I would think that this could freeze since its all plastic.

    Self filling water bucket.

    I added a toilet fill valve to a bucket, then connected it to a hose with a timer to come ON every couple of days to refill. It fills with approx. 3 gallons of water. Every few weeks or when needed, I just disconnect the water hose and clean out the bucket.

    How do you put tarp on a dog cage styled run?

    I have used this grommet kit on tarps and heavy plastic. Should give you a secure hold since it wont let you stretch the plastic. Sold at harbor freight or any hardware store.

    Sweet PDZ inside coop

    yes, right now I have some vanilla trees hanging and with the PDZ, it has made a difference. Also, hanging sand which bags with water and a few pennies in them deter the flies. Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time in my coop! lol

    Sweet PDZ inside coop

    Of course I have been having issues with flies this summer inside the coop. I have installed a poop board under the roost with Sweet PDZ and it has helped tremendously.
