I have one and love it for a grow out coop/hospital coop. It would be great for two chickens if they could free range or you had a run extension of some kind. As is, it’s too small for even two in the run in my opinion. The coop itself is plenty big to hold up to three large breed I think...

Would love to hear from those of you that have painted your hardware cloth to see how long it holds up before peeling? (Apparently galvanized metal peels when painted?). I’m going to paint mine regardless and would like to know what to expect. Also, if you know what paint you used, that...

Thank you. He poo looked normal so I think she’s ok. She seems fine today, although I did notice a few of the others picking on her a little.

Thanks. She seems ok this morning, maybe she was just tired? Seems odd. I’m going to check in on her a lot today and run a sample to vet in morning if she acts off. Will start cord tomorrow if cocci

So I noticed one of my 6 week olds standing puffed, not really interested in what was going on and just seems off. Poo looked good. She is standing like “cocci chicks” I’ve seen online. I have Corid in my kit, but have some complications 1- I have 2 chicks with B vitamin deficiencies that...

Thanks!!

Definitely!! Trying to do everything to make sure they are as safe as possible. I went way overboard with this small run when the big one will be done is just a few weeks. But they need more space!

I made a 4x8 run for my 6 week old chicks while we wait for the big run to get finished. I was going to pin mesh around the outside and stake it to the ground, but have seen others put hardware cloth on the bottom of the actual run. I am hesitant to do that as it seems like it would hurt their...

Thanks all. I ended up adding more washers, spaced out about 4-6 inches. I’ve worked on this thing until it’s almost killed me. 🤣. I’m too old for this. 😩

We are fairly rural.

I’m building a pen for chicks outside. Is this hardware cloth attached safely or do I need to put wood over the washers?

Thanks

Oops. Thought I did.

I was told it was construction sand.

That sounds interesting. I’m fine with having someone one full feeder, but i need one that will keep it dry.

Thats what I wanted to hear. No glue! Guess I’ll just check under it every so often. Maybe sprinkle DE between. I think it will be easier to clean that what it has now. And add some insulation

It’s REALLY tough and heavy duty. Not sure if it’s actually rubber, it’s the flooring they use in gyms. I could barely cut it with my utility knife.

I’m laying a rubber mat type flooring over the coop wood floor. Do I need to glue it down to prevent bugs from living under it?

We are going out of town for 4 days and I’d like a feeder i can keep in the run that is weatherproof and safe for 6 week olds. A lot of auto feeders say for 12 weeks and up because they ports are big enough to get inside and get stuck.

Hello. Trying to figure out how to find someone to feed/water my chickens when we are away, but anyone with chicken know-how will most likely have chickens and I’d like to keep bio security in mind. Dont want someone wearing their chicken boots in my coop and others, you know?
