    That seems odd to me. Is that at the posts or the roof line?

    Will this nesting box set up work?

    Here is a fairly inexpensive option from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/6Pcs-Wooden-Faux-Children-Kitchen/dp/B00IUNC8QI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434476026&sr=8-1&keywords=wooden+eggs&pebp=1434476027898&perid=0B1P6481HYHEV1ZSRR8G

    Nails

    A picture would certainly help. Can you just "fold" the ends with a hammer back into your "sub-roof?" I've been contemplating this as I'll be installing a new roof soon. I think I'm just going to run a few 2x4 joist to nail the roofing to (ie, so the nails have something to drive in to and...

    Foundation Confusion

    I don't have time to draw it up, but you could easily extend the floor joists and decking slightly past the deck blocks... kind of like a very small porch all the way around, to which you could attach your hardware cloth or some other type of skirting boards. Any builder worth paying should be...

    Project Thread: Converting the Kerr Chicken Tractor to Permanent Coop & Run

    Foundation Confusion

    I was planning a 16 x 16 (256 sq ft) coop using concrete deck blocks for the foundation. I'd think they should work for your application. Like these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_560913-44840-PIERBLOCK_1z0udao__?productId=50119507&pl=1

    Electric Fence Resources

    Does anybody out there have a good article or other source of information regarding electric fencing? I'm thinking of adding a "hot" wire around the bottom of my coop and run for additional predator protection. I plan to enclose the top of my run (ie, the "roof" part of the run) with chicken...

    Coop door - to close or not to close??

    With our current coop we've been leaving the door open by necessity. The birds are outgrowing the coop and are always roosted outside the coop (but in their enclosed run) at night. We've been doing this for a few months now with no problems, BUT our coop is close enough to the house that...
