    pail comb.

    Not broody, sick. I know about bugs and use permethrin 13.3. I did a bug check on all my birds two months ago and deep clean the coop. That included spraying every inch with 13.3.

    Chicken Run Roof Framing!

    its also not knowing/using proper building techniques . Putting two 2x4s together without using wall plates, corner posts and other construction codes will set up failure, Not the nails you use. Again, screws hold down and can sheer if used to "hang" load bearing timber. I'm not pulling this...

    Chicken Run Roof Framing!

    ahh no, nails must be used to "hang"wood. Screws are brittle and can shear easy so use nails to hold wood that is loaded "AKA" hung. you can screw wood down as what the wood is sitting on carries the load not the "fastener" AKA nail or screw. Nails hold just fine and if needed, use ring shank...

    Chicken run with top ventilation

    I only put plastic on one side of my open air coop/run. The northside to block the winter gail wind and rains. That allows enough air movement to dry the floor and not be damp. all you need is a wind block not totally enclosed.

    Dusty Run

    Large pine shaving from TSC is what i use. I use them in the nest boxes and after a month i dump them on the floor. Keeps the dust down and i rake it out every 3-4 months and use it to cover poop on the compost pile.
