    Used pine shavings help?!

    Yeah I have plenty of land and no burn regs. I'll have to narrow the smell down you might be right about something dead. I have looked into the deep litter. Maybe I'll give that a try.

    Used pine shavings help?!

    Yeah I took their water out bc it spilled a little last time I'm sure that didn't help the smell. I'll try covering it with greens/leaves. Thank u!

    Used pine shavings help?!

    So I'm cleaning my coop out about once a week (8 birds). The summer heat and humidity after a week can make the coop a very foul smelling place to be. I disinfect with vinegar and place new pine shavings in. My question is, what does everybody do with the shavings. I have a lot of property and...

    Hardware cloth

    I'm sure this thread is out there but after building my run I want to spread the word. DONT BUY HARDWARE CLOTH FROM BIG BOX STORES. It's MUCH cheaper online unless you have a local farm store that sells it cheap. I got a 48"x50' roll 1/4 inch from amazon for $70 free shipping. Lowes had 36"x25'...

    Coop and run- the chicken ritz!

    Oh the cut out is some particle board cut out from some store made for home decor. The legs broke off during move and it was just laying around. Cut the legs straight off and screwed to the coop.

    Coop and run- the chicken ritz!

    Hardware cloth is in the mail! Comes this week to do the top. Its 48"x50' it was half the cost online as it was at lowes. The smaller rolls are the only ones really worth buying there. I got enough to do the vents and chicken tube today.

    Chicken Coop & Run Questions

    Hard to tell how big your gaps are for vents. There should be enough air movement in there to keep the smell down and always fresh air supply. Just be sure you use that hardware cloth. Hens from what I've seen and read (newbie here) have different preference for roost height. Some are happy a...
