    Opinion on Automatic Chicken Doors

    I just purchased the Chicken Guard on Amazon (it was 20 percent off on Prime Day). It already came this morning and I am excited to set it up. I will update you on it.

    Opinion on Automatic Chicken Doors

    Hear me out... I have never had an auto door before but this is what I have heard from videos, reviews, and other fourms. I am still in the process of buying a door and I am so confused as to which one is best. So far I narrowed down my options to two doors. PLEASE tell me if you have had any of...

    I am finally going to buy sand for my chicken run, though I don't know what type to get. I only have two types available near me. Play sand and All-purpose sand. We do have traction sand but it says it is not kiln dry and they recommended not to use in with chickens...

    I need an Honest Opinion.

    I could expand the run to where each has 15 square feet outside and still have 4.5 square feet inside, but I don't think it would look very good being too close to the house.

    I need an Honest Opinion.

    So I am thinking of squeezing 4 more hens into my current flock. This leaves each hen having 10 square feet in the run and 4.5 square feet in the coop. I first made my coop and run big enough so I might add more hens later on. I know the minimum space per chicken is 10 square feet though I don't...
