    Feed Storage Box

    The rodent proof Feed storage box It wasn't until after I got my new feathery freinds that I realized I would need someplace to put the bag of feed for them. They didn't go through much at the time so I thought "hey, I'll just put it on the other side to the broader wall". Well that worked...

    Rustic Stick Roosts

    How to build Rustic Stick Roosts I decided to upgrade my nest box to a front rollout box. After I was done I knew I wanted to make natural roosts like the ones I had on my original nest box. That's when I decided to go this route. See my nest box...

    Front Rollout Nest box Design This page contains prints to show you how to make your own nesting boxes. I have the same problem many others have in that my nest boxes need to be against the wall but I don't want them hanging outside. Egg eating had also became an issue as well with my birds...

    My First Coop

    My thrifty, Cozy, Coop To give some background first, I've never raised chickens and I never built anything of this magnitude by my self. I'm handy with my hands but nothing could have prepared me for the year long project I was going to start with this coop. I decided to go into chickens...

    Our playhouse chicken coop

    Quote: I've got to admit that's a spectacular idea for the man door to the run!! And it looks amazing! I agree with chickerdoodle though. At least cover the run with 2x4 weld wire and I probobly would staple some fencing to the inside of the man door. Looks good, Spudd dud

    Front rollout nest box design

    I updated the prints to show some instructions as to changing the # of boxes. I also renumbered some of the item numbers to keep things clearer.

    Our run is going to be completely enclosed

    I close mine up every night. I had problems before when I left the windows open (no fencing in them at the time), but ever since installing the fencing in the windows I've not had an issue. I don't have a top on my run (too expensive with the size run I have) and there hasn't been any death...

    Covert coop plans & ideas needed

    Quote: That's hilarious and a great idea at the same time! I suppose you just put the hardwire cloth inside the windows. If you made a run with shade cloth over it that looked like a boat was under it no one would suspect a thing! The cool thing about using the playhouse, it's as portable...

    Rustic stick roost instructions

    To be honest if your not taking pictures it only takes 20-30 minutes to do and that includes finding the branch! But you send me the plane ticket and I'm so there!!! Quote:

    Rustic stick roost instructions

    I'd like to think they are fairly clear but let me know what you guys think! I built them for my nest box and after looking at them a bit they almost look too nice for chickens to poop on. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=81983-rustic-stick-roosts

    Are the holes in 2x4 welded wire fence too big to be safe?

    I use 2x4 wire fence (100' of it to be exact) and I haven't had any critters get in yet. My Goldern Retriever probobly helps that too. Around the bottom I cut steel sheets (like the ones on pole sheds) down the middle and buried 4-8" of it. If your worried put hardware cloth by digging a...

    How big and what all should be done?

    This is what i built for my birds. At one time I had 41 birds (way too many for the 8' x 8' coop), just during the summer though. Right now I have about 19 birds and they seem to be doing fine. Just make sure you insulate it good and have adjustable venting...
