    Overthinking... or The $2,000 Backyard Coop

    There is absolutely no reason that you should worry about using PT wood for your coop or run. The modern methods of pressure treating wood is very safe. Assuming that neither you nor your chickens are actually going to consume great quantities of the wood, you will find absolutely no adverse...

    Opinions needed...

    Once you get past the edges of the hard roof, Eggsoteric, (i.e. the board or plywood) the only advantage is in the first corrugated "ripple" or the first "down stroke" of the roofing. that is the part of the roofing that will direct the rain toward the outside of the coop/run.

    Chickens at the back door.....

    ...birds. The dogs actually wanted the chickens to "play" with them, but the birds kept their distance from them. Now the bitties actually chase the dogs around the yard, and the dogs look up at us as to say "would you please make these ****** birds quit!" It's really comical! Beers y'all, Ken

    Chickens at the back door.....

    My wife and I have 4 Plymouth Barred Rock hens, aged 13 weeks. They live out in our coop/run about 75 feet from our house. We go out several times a day to interact with them, besides just the let out/put up times. They have become quite accustomed to my wife being out with them while they...

    Hawks....

    My wife called me at work this morning to tell me that this guy was sitting in the back yard..... We had the girls locked securely in the run at the time. She said that the hawk just sat there for a little over an hour. He kept checking out the cracks between the boards on the ramp going...

    Howdy gang, We live in the Panhandle area of NW Florida. We continuously have a Mole Cricket problem in our area which is destroying our yard. Last year, pre-chickens in the yard, we used Ortho Bug B Gon Max insecticide and it worked pretty good for a while. Unfortunately in our area, Mole...

    Good bye, Mr. Waddles

    I called the new owner this afternoon. He said that Mr. Waddles was not exactly welcomed in with open arms (wings) on the first day, but by the second day everybody in the flock were like they had known each other forever. Looks like Mr. Waddles will enjoy his new mates. Beers y'all, Ken
