    Economical/"easy" run build

    I just bought a new (to me) hen house & will need some help modifying that soon, but I'm looking for thoughts on economical semi-permanent/permanent run builds.

    Here I am again/pecking order injury

    (Yet) another leg injury post-not splayed leg

    They were hatched last Monday & shipped. 17 chicks arrived to me Wednesday. Either Wednesday night or Thursday morning this one had pulled a bunch of feathers from her flank (the day is hazy because we had 2 losses Thursday-1 lethargic, 1 seizures & ? wry neck?). Saturday morning I noticed this...
