    Modular PVC playgrounds

    Here is something I have for my ladies. Each unit measures 5’x5’ and are 2.5’ high. You need 5 lengths of 10’ half inch PVC and 8 of the corner joints. I put some scrap 2x4’s at the base to keep them grounded. After the girls grind up the lawn I move each section. Easy-peasy. An old twin bed...

    Advice needed for predator proofing this

    I strongly suggest 1/2” hardware cloth under the coop and run, and any place you are going to keep their food. Rats are so persistent and smart it’s incredible! I laid out hardware cloth around the perimeter of the coop that measured 20” out which was then attached to the coop sill. The rats...

    Animal broke in

    I have the Omlet Door and it is battery powered. I change the batteries once a year. And recently I added hardware fabric on the bottom of the coop. Keeps the rats from tunneling in.

    Chicken tunnel

    These are my plans for the next generation of tunnels. One section is large and built to accept the smaller section. I attach the tunnel to the coop with the extra length of chicken wire that extends off the end of the tunnel. But to maintain security the run needs to be fully wrapped in...

    Chicken tunnel

    I made some tunnels for safe travel between the coop and a close by tractor. The cheapest are made from wood. Four pieces that measure 12”x 12” at each end. These are connected by 2x3” pine that are 40” long. These make the body of the tractor so what you end up with is a 12” high tunnel by 40”...

    Bullying Behavior in a small flock

    I had 6 Golden Comets and the hen at the bottom was getting gang banged by all the others. They posted a hen at the feeder and waterer to keep her away. I finally had to make an adjacent coop for her. I also had the least aggressive hen join her and that worked out well. I’ve heard that the...

    No eggs for 2 years but she’s laying again

    Unbelievable! My Golden Comet quit laying a couple of years ago. But she’s back at it. Is this common? I also saw some light blood on the snow and some on her egg.

    Easter Egger and Rhode Island Blues as coop mates?

    Hi guys. I’m about to get my second batch of chicks. I had great luck with Golden Comets but only 2 are left from the original 6. I’m thinking about getting a mix of Easter Eggers and R I Blues. I’ve done some searching on line and it looks like these 2 breeds should get along. Can I get some...

    Rat proof feeders??

    Has anyone tried the feeders that the chickens have to step on a platform and it open up? The rats are not Sutton be heavy enough to lift the protective lid. I have rats for the first time and they are tough to eliminate.
