    New sizes for Pullet Shut Automatic Chicken Doors

    For everyone who has been asking, there is now a smaller and a larger Pullet Shut Automatic Chicken Door available! Our 'standard' door is still available with it's 11x15" opening. But many customers said it was still too tall (22 5/8") to fit their coop. To meet that need, we have shrunk...

I searched the web, I read through the 20+ page threads here, I did the research & just didn't find anything that I wanted to build or buy. And my tool...

    Extreme heat question

    Hi everyone, I got some ducks a couple of months ago. I have an adult pair of Rouens, and an adult female Indian Runner. I also have a pair of 2 month old Rouens, and 3 ruoen ducklings born last Friday. I'm in central Texas & it was a miserable 105 F yesterday. I'm out in the country, the...
