    Comment by 'JAMES09' in article '"What The Cluck?" Our tractor coop on a shoestring budget'

    To Ms.Joan: you are correct...raccoons & some other predators CAN chew through chicken wire/poultry fencing....however, what I see in the pictures is what is called hardware cloth/hardware fabric....it also goes by several other names. I have been a farmer all my life & have never known any...

    in case I did not say it before, I wish to inform you that(in my opinion) I believe you have done an absolutely wonderful job building that stagecoach clone. :) I wish you many years of use from that & may your flock be prosperous.

    I would not advise electrifying the hexagonal wire, but there are insulators you can buy & attach them to the outside of the coop so that when the coons comes around they get a "shocking" revelation. most any farm supply store would carry them...this is one that comes to mind...

    Nice. very very nice. I have an old chicken coop that my dad built many years ago(before the town I live in became a city)...I have been wanting to either rebuild or replace that coop....after seeing & reading this, I think I'll replace it. TY for sharing.

    Q. instead of building this in the garage/barn, then taking it apart & moving it, why did you not just build it on the site you have it now?? Seems to me like that would have been a lot less work... speaking of which, this chicken coop looks very nice. lots a work, but it looks very nice.

    I was thinking about that fence charger you were using....do you still use it? and if so, can it be hooked up to some kind of solar power?? I think if that's possible for you, it might save on your electric bill. I like what you have done & how you used the dog house for chickens....very nice...

    Our 'Stagecoach' Clone

    There is a CPVC Pipe that is almond colored & has more flexibility because it is thinner walled than Schedule 40, but I think it should take a screw just fine. As far as strength goes, for the purpose of a stagecoach coop, I do not believe there will be any noticeable difference. There is...

    Coop Plus in Seattle.. anyone deal with them?

    ...into bankruptcy, or burned them back so bad that nobody would deal with them any more. It sounds like that is what needs to be done about this *cough,cough* and the sooner it is done the better everyone will be. Just remember that in a lawsuit of any kind, the motto is, "TAKE NO PRISONERS...

    new to owning chickens. how is my setup. PICS

    This is true about hexagonal wire...it just is not strong enough to keep raccoons & possums out...let alone the fox & any other predatory animal. Hardware fabric is probably the best route one can take to secure the birds at night. My recommendation is the fabric with the 1/2'' squares. That...

    What do I do with my run now that it is winter?

    if you add a lamp for them, consider this: full spectrum lighting. It is the closest thing man made to the sun. full spectrum light bulbs imitate the light of the sun, and IF, if there is a problem with the birds or egg production(though I doubt there will be), the full spectrum lights will...

    Any Mobile Stagecoach coop owners?

    Nice. I like it!! is that PVC pipe I see?? Seems like that would be the way to go, but then I could be wrong. The coop I have, I hired someone to build for me, because I am NOT a woodworker by any stretch of the imagination, & would surely mess it up if I tried to build myself. I have...
