    Chicken mansion

    I’m going to be adding a 2nd window and a fan. The whole roof is open as well. If it gets to hot I will add an exhaust fan. Thank you 😊. I’m super excited.

    Chicken mansion

    This is my second coop I have done. The first one I had problems with bears and rats taking out my flock. 10 years later and I was set on making the new coop as predator resistant as possible. It’s 8’x16’ and 5’x8’ is storage. The storage separates the coop and run. I have a big enough channel...

    Can chickens move into a coop that has mice?

    Using poison is a horrible idea because something will end up eating it. Then whatever ate the mouse/rat will also die from the poison. It's just a cascade effect and not a good one. Bucket traps work wonders and there are lots of you tube videos on how to make them. Before you put your girls...

    Bear Attack

    I have black bears where I live. One night I had a momma bear and her babies break into my original coop years ago. The next night they tried again and couldn't get in. Never had another problem with them. They want easy meals and if it takes to much effort they give up.

    !!!URGENT!!! Neighbors dog killed all of my ducks. This is not the first time.

    Where I am if you shoot a dog you have to kill it I do believe. If you shoot to injure it to try to scare it away you could end up with a fine for causing unnecessary suffering to the dog or something like that. Also the dog has to be on your property when you shoot and kill it. Would check to...

    Coop without a door

    If you have bears in your state defiantly put a door. I just lost 10 birds to bears cause I thought my coop and run was secure enough.

    Abandoning coop!

    For future use of your original coop if you so choose dig a trench around the outside of the coop and nail hardwire mesh to the bottom. Place rock on top of mesh then cover with dirt. I had rats getting in and taking my babies at night. Now no more problems.

I haven't closed them in in over a year and just last Thursday bears got in cause I was so lax and didn't close them in. I had 13 birds I now only have my rooster and...

    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    I just had a mama bear and babies mess with my coop. While mama bear couldn't get in the pop door I had left open the babies sure could. I for sure lost 2 birds to the bears.
