I am pretty proud of this homemade design, if I do say myself. anybody can make this feeder. and I can find no downside to it.

wow. I was in the pen giving them some mealworms and one of mine (I think one of the two who just started laying) did the chicken dance for me. I thought she was scared so I picked her up and petted her. I didn't realize I was making love to her....

not only do i not think ACV would corrode the metal, when i googlize it i find that ACV is a corrosion cleaner! besides, we are talking about a pretty diluted quantity. thanks for the kind words!

if your anywhere in northwest florida I will bring you one!

mine took to it right away, but I did have to remove their other water source first. if you want to see how to make a good nofuss waterer, I am very happy with the one I have built:

mine seem to like Spanish moss too. I have been raking in the oak tree leaves for them to search thru and I see them picking thru the moss. don't know if its bad or good but I know they love it so. take it away, marie!

I just looked at your setup, very very nice! that is an impressive coop. how many head you running?

yes, 10 ft sticks of half inch are only about 2 bucks a piece. wow, never heard of raccoons chewing thru chicken wire. scary. yes, the barrel locks will be the daily lock but I am putting a hasp on for when we go off on the weekend.

i am done folks. finished the run this weekend. here is a short...I promise...final video showing the complete coop and run. I am very happy with it and the girls seem to be too. as always, feel free to criticize, comment or question. it was because of good info on this thread that I made some...

my coop. just finished it. working now on the run.

ok, the coop is pretty much done and the little girls have moved in. ha, little girls. big ungainly girls is more like it. working on the run now. heres some explanatory pics.

I ran into this farmnyard guy's videos and came here to backyardchicken.com to see what others were saying about him. now I don't claim to have the spririttual gift of discernment, but something aint right here. I would steer clear of this guys coops. he spends too much time trying to protect...

can we submit a video? I didn't take still pics!

the lowest roost is 8 inches from the wall. is that too close? great comments as always. thanks!

the outside run will be 12 by 8, with an additional 4 by 8 under the coop,where the food and water is. I am putting sunshade over half that. the sand is very intersting

wow, lots of good comments. the coop is about 4 by 8. my plan is to keep a "pan" under the roosts that I can collect poop in. it is the old bottom of a dog kennel and will slide out my door. I am very interested in this sand idea. are we talking regular playground sand? and how deep? has...

I am in the florida panhandle right on the water. we have pretty mild temps here mostly, with a good breeze coming off the gulf. I don't mean to literally hose out the coop ever. I wanted to be able to rake the contents out into the wheel barrow. and I want the ability to use a water if I need...

here it is folks. you suggested and I listened. a short video showing the changes I made based on your feedback and great ideas. thanks!

well, the limbs are gone. I replaced them with 2 by 4s, with one side rounded a bit. all I have left to do is the vinyl floor and I hope to do that tomorrow. I have incorporated many of the suggestions from here on this thread. again, thanks to all who chimed in. I will make another (shorter...

hey, when I decide to get into something, like egg farming for instance, I want to do it right. I research the thing and ask for advice from those that have come before me. I guess the secret of success is that I know that I don't know everything. when its all said and done I have learned a...
