That's ingenious! I'm gonna to gut one of my old Magnavox console stereos, and remove the front/side speaker grills and screen them in and make a brooder about six feet long.These consoles have two large sliding lids on the top, and the big cabinet is on casters. With a little bit of hardware...

I'm with you, Madddawg, and I'd be sitting right beside you devouring that steak and tater, with maybe some veggie on the side. My run is basically built and the upper half and top need to be screened in and my entry door built. It looks like four 8x8 squares joined together, but it is...

I'm a PA transplant, too. Grew up in Grove City, PA...well, before that on 70 acre farm way out in the boonies about 10 miles out. Grove City is about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh, and about 3 miles east of where Interstate 79 and 80 cross each other. Worked at Edinboro State College for 14...

How 'bout a wide strip of mudflap from a vehicle? It's flexible and sturdy. -BB Bobby Basham Tucson, Arizona

We have been enjoying some 70's and lower 80's for the past several weeks. --BB Bobby Basham Tucson, Arizona

Onto the coop itself: Since it is on the smaller side for six birds (just under 3 square feet), I am maintaining the daily removal of waste and tossing it in the compost outside of the run. I don't want to take any chances of ammonia or moisture building up and it doesn't take more than a couple...

There's really nothing special about my run design. Think of it (on a smaller scale) of laying four wooden screen doors on their sides forming a square run attached to 4x4 posts at the corners. Duplicate that to get the top half all away around. The corner posts serve as links to attach...

Bless Yo' Bones, Beekissed: Your video was an excellent demonstration of the DL method, which I'm gonna use, and I would particularly like to see how folks use that method in an uncovered run out in the elements. I don't think we have enough rain to be a problem here in Arizona, but we do...

Icdred, I'm loving your design and it looks like you have alot of property to build such a nice setup. I think we're kindred spirits, starting off on the same page but going our different paths. Living in an HOA, I had to build on a smaller scale (16 x 16) and it's only five feet high. I...

Thanks, City Farm. Even though you see alot of posts and boards along the base, it is actually one big space. Those bottom boards mimick the top boards and are for structural support but give the illusion that there are four separate areas.You just have to watch your step right now navigating...

The music will be so low that you'd have to practically stand upon any speaker enclosure out there. I mean low as close to a whisper. My back yard is completely surrounded by a brick wall which will cut back on any sound projection. --BB

It's actually one big enclosure. It's just the base boards that make it look like three separate areas. With deep litter or whatever, you won't see those boards. Only the deck area will be closed off from the rest of the run. --BB Bobby Basham Tucson, Arizona

Hey, I'm still around...How YOU be these days??? I'm moving like a snail on my project(s), and keep getting cold feet along the way. I finally got to working on my run after a gazillion drawing modifications. What once started out like this... Turned into something completely different...

I haven't started my coop yet, because my design keeps changing. The run is no better. What was supposed to be a simple square chain-link run evolved into something a little unconventional. It evolved into a single 4x4 post branching out like a wagon wheel into four 8x8 ft sections, with the...

I play piano and organ. Been a musician/choir director for the last 47 years, but not my full-time job. I work in the legal profession. For now, I deal mainly deal with Gospel music, but have played, and have many music scores, to Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Bach, Chopin, Rachmanninof etc...

What you see is just a tip of the iceburg...there's alot more up in here. --BB

Sorry I missed the tongue-in-cheek aspect of your response. It's hard interpreting what people write, but I get your drift. He's sort of a dry individual to begin with some humor. Sometimes, he just acts like a big kid. Even his house reflects it. Total minimalist, with very little...

No, he didn't want me to leave. I was invited and he warned me that he hadn't turned on the heat. I knew his house would be chilly, but not THAT cold. It was an unusually chilly night to begin with. --BB
