    Inconspicuous fence

    I want to get my chickens out of their run as much as possible, but need to keep them out of the neighbors. I’ve heard of a wobbly fence but can’t find one. I’m thinking fabric netting would be easier to put up and take down than chicken wire. Any thoughts/suggestions? them in

    Automatic door recommendation

    I live in Maine and have concern over freezing batteries. What is the best automatic coop door for my situation? I need it to be reliable and would prefer to use battery or solar.

    Purina® Start & Grow® Medicated

    I have 8 week old chicks and can find the feed they have eaten since born. I can’t find Purina® Start & Grow® Medicated. What else is recommended? Or does anyone know where I can order ? Amazon was ridiculously expensive

    New chicks and brooder! Newbie alert!

    Chicks arrived. Here’s the set up! Worried about the heater but I was told it works. All look ok? They are in unheated garage.

    Cardboard brooder in ingested garage.

    I have a cardboard brooder from my pet chicken. Can I put that in my detached unheated garage on asphalt floor with a cozy coop heater. I’ll put cardboard in the floor and wood shavings. Will that work? I’ll leave a light in for them as well. It’s predator proof as well.

    Problem ?

    My coop arrived today and the dims are 65x35 inched which is 15.77 sq ft. I have 6 chickens. Do I need to enlarge it? I used the outside dims to calculate by mistake!

    Post or not to post chicken run

    I’m about to build my run for 6 chickens. I’m planing on 60 sq ft. Do I need to set my posts in the ground or can it free stand along with a hardware cloth apron? I’m hoping I don’t need to dig holes, but do want a solid run. Also, do I need 1/4 or 1/2 hardware cloth? I live in Maine.

    Need to buy a quality coop!

    Good day all! Can anyone recommend a website where I can buy a quality coop for 6 hens? Carolina Coops are too expensive and I don’t want to buy from Amazon or Wayfair. Any thoughts? I may build one over the summer but first need to buy something of quality.
