    Question of the Day - Wednesday, October 1st, 2025

    YES! It is handy to wear an apron, easy to maintain and just put on and take off.

    Question of the Day - Wednesday, October 1st, 2025

    I wear an apron all day long. I grab an apron to put on OVER my apron when I go out to chicken! It hangs by the back door, and I take it off and hang it back up when I come back in. It's black with bleach stains so it never gets used for anything else.

    Persistent bumblefoot

    ...it reuses sources of material that previously I used to bag up and send to the landfill. There are a lot of people who advocate using a wire apron around the run. They say if you lay down wire on the ground, maybe 18-24 inches out, that digging animals will give up trying to dig a tunnel...

    Saddle for attacked hen.

    ...for flystrike - this is flies laying eggs in the wound, hatching into maggots which must be removed. I would be afraid covering with an apron could cause infection as the wound can't breathe, but I could be wrong about this. As the fabric gets soaked with blood and other moisture it will...

    Chicken shoes, yes, tennis shoes right now but knee- high boots when the grass is high (tick protection!), plus I put on my chicken apron if I'm going to clean poop trays and nitrile gloves as well.

    Lost my whole flock

    He bought 1/2 inch galvanized steel. It was off of amazon, and it had good reviews (not sure that matters :confused: ), and he did an apron all the way around it. We have a camera in the coop now and ones pointing to all of the sides. We did not have cameras at the time this happened. My guess...

    Dog training thread

    Thanks! This sounds like what I was doing pre-pregnancy (I'm not much for getting up early now, haha, and I'm not the one handling his morning routine right now). Thankfully, there is no reason for the dog to interact with the areas the baby will be in, so we will have time to adjust and work...

    Dog training thread

    ...purpose with unruly dogs. Step 1) The modern way: Start early a.m. on the dogs empty stomach. No Food in any bowl. Load your pockets or a apron with all his daily kibble. He gets not a single piece until all four feet are grounded and he is a calm state. When you see him attempting a jump...

    All Things Treadle Feeder

    Wow, how bizarre! I'm trying to imagine what that's all about. 🤔 Sorry, I think several of us lost track of what exactly was happening with the shell.

    All Things Treadle Feeder

    ...as well. Inside the nursery with the chicks is only feed and fresh water. The rats, sadly, have been able to tunnel into the run. (I have an apron, but there are vulnerable points at my corner posts, and the rats dug under the posts, SIGH). They cannot access the feed (the run has a treadle...

    Old Shed Coop and Run Suggestions Needed

    ...so that it's tall enough for you to walk in, it has a solid, pitched roof and walls secured with 1/2" hardware cloth along with a 2 ft predator apron spread along the ground. You'll want to scale it so that it offers about 15 sq ft per bird and put lots of branches, stumps, old wood chairs or...

    Best way to adjust this coop

    That’s some amazing ideas! Thankyou! We have most tools to do things, like metal drill bits, tech screws etc, my husband has collected many tools etc over the years which are handy, I was thinking the A frame sheets would be good on the roof for some shelter, but it can get very windy and wet...

    Best way to adjust this coop

    ...for predators to dig. Unless chain link has been buried, anything thinner like hardware cloth will have rusted by now. So you can dig a new apron, or lay an apron down and seed something that will grow quickly (and if it's tall and leans that can help provide some salad bar greenery for the...
