    Run-Chicken T50 issues

    Run Chicken doesn’t make a door with WiFi. Sounds like you got one of the knock offs.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I have a 16" x 16" plate coming. Hopefully big enough. Mean time, the chicks are feathering out nicely. The stage some of them are in tho cracks me up. The remaining chick down on their heads is like a mullet or old bald man fringe. Plus tiny heads on big fluffy feathered bodies.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Have to figure out how to fit a bigger one in the space I have. The plate in there is 12”x12”. I could maybe take a wire cutter and cut a portion of the right side wall of the crate out.

    Or maybe their count is only for day old chicks. And ignores the reality of how fast the little boogers grow!!!

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Chicks are four weeks old. It’s only getting colder. They are no longer reliably fitting under the heat plate I have. They do the musical sleeping spot shuffle all night long with chicks getting shoved out from under the plate then the ousted one buries her way back into the pile under the...

    Roosting bars

    If they have access to the outside of that coop, you may find them roosting on the roof of the coop. As everyone before has said, most chickens are going to go for the highest flattish point they can access. Coop roof. Deck railing, lawn tractor hood, etc. This was the night before my first...

    Oh no, I foresaw that and got the plastic triangle dome cover for the brooder heat plate. I was talking about the roof of the entire brooder itself. It’s two smooth grey translucent plastic grid sheets. The babies like to hang out up there out of the adults reach. There’s always a bunch of...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Yesterday was really hard. Susie was named after my mom and was my favorite chick from this batch. Culling her to put her out of her misery was probably the hardest chicken thing I’ve had to do. You have no idea how glad I was to come home and see everyone running around and happy. I didn’t...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Lost Susie the CCL chick today. Some how the adults managed to catch her out in the run and....it wasnt pretty. I thought they were big enough at this point to be past this stage. Plus she was the quickest and most skittish of all the chicks. Never thought she would have been caught. Sigh. RIP...

    Why can’t Fred (my roo) eat like a normal chicken??

    Maxine was the softest but not so much of a snuggler. Lulu, our treeing walker coonhound/elkhound/beagle/dachshund on the other hand loved snuggles. And refused to balance treats on her head/snout. She was a “I pose on things, not a things pose on me” type. Must be a hound thing.

    Carport to Coop Conversion in FL

    For food storage, a place I boarded a horse at once used defunct chest freezers. Kept rodents out very well and extended storage due to being air tight (as long as the gaskets were intact). Lots of people look to get rid of them for free when they stop working. Maybe keep an eye out on your...

    New coop project

    Borrowing power tools from relatives is better than a hammer. Tho this battery powered crown stapler was heavy enough that my weenie arms couldn’t really manage it one handed with consistency. We are planning eventually to also put furring strips over the edges of the hardware cloth...

    Why can’t Fred (my roo) eat like a normal chicken??

    It’s good for practicing self control and listening to the human when you want to do something the human doesn’t want you to do. Whether it is wait to eat a treat placed temptingly on your nose or not chase a squirrel into traffic and get hit by a car. But. Uh. Yea maybe some people take it a...

    I think they might like mealworms or something. That’s Gimpy towards the middle flapping her wings and jumping for treats!
