    I made it so I dont have to carry any buckets just full it with the hose when it gets low. There is a valve at the bottom of the bucket so I can turn it off takenit all apart and clean it when it gets dirty. Does any one know would adding a few drops of bleach be ok for the chickens? Basicaly...

    Yeah I am going to see if I want to go to a 15 gallon barrel for water or keep the 5 gallon bucket. Then I will make a cover and stand for it as I don't like the 4 cinder blocks its on now lol. I got a good amount of scrap and will have more after I build a fence. I just had to do something...

    Yeah if we get any ill have to cover it some how. I live in northern CA and more than likely won't see more than a sprinkle tell October. When I take it off for paint I'll make little awning roofs to cover them.

    Looks like I need to make that new roosting bar and ramp sooner than I thought. This is there roost of choice. The only thing I did today is put the hardware cloth on the bottom of the coop and door. But that was the big thing holding them up from comming out side. They got some out side time...

    I have a 2x4 every 2 feet so one would start a peice the middle one was only for over all suport of both the coop and the wire. Then the 3rd 2x4 would give an ending spot for the first peice and a starting spot for the next one. First picture is of how they meet on the middle post Second...

    NO hardware cloth is not the easiest to work with! I got a 4 foot wide roll knowing a lot of my walls would be 8 foot. I wish I would have gone with 2 foot wide. It is kind of hard just working with something so large and I did not have a single peice with out a little extra wave in it. On...
