what length are the panels you used here? You said more than 4ft wide, but how long to make that size and still be tall enough to walk in?

What size is your indoor area? I could possibly outfit a coop area for them if I can go cheaper on the fencing. I found a 4x100 roll on amazon for $30!

What do you use for the coop pen? And I'm assuming they go back in every night since this wouldn't be predator proof?

I have 17 broad breasted turkeys coming from Myer in July. My husband only agreed to do turkeys again if I tractor them and don't let them free-range (he couldn't handle the poop last time). Now I'm trying to figure out what size tractor I need for 17 turkeys. Seem like so many. I was originally...

I found this: http://www.ruralking.com/red-brand-welded-wire-36-x100-2x4-14-gauge-84066.html?___SID=U but I worry the holes are too large. Or possibly this? http://www.ruralking.com/red-brand-deer-wildlife-fence-2048-6-14-1-2-48-x165-deer-orchard-70250.html?___SID=U

Top holes won't cause an issue with raccoons or possums? What's the largest fencing I could safely go with? 1x1? 2x2?

I'm currently building 2 tractors, both 3ft tall, 5ft wide, and 10ft long. I need enough fencing to go around and over the top, leaving the bottom open. I don't want to use chicken wire, as I know it's not predator proof, but I also don't have a ton of money to throw into fencing. I've seen so...

So, I made a homemade feeder that contains a 5 gallon bucket worth of food. However, there's just not enough room for all the chickens to eat. They fight and pick over it. This is in a tractor so it needs to be easy to fill, but I need to be sure everyone can get to the food. Any suggestions? I...

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to comment anyway. We just went through winter using deep litter with our rabbit colony. They have a wooden house that they go in to eat and get out of the weather. We did either straw or pine shavings on the floor (depending on what we had on hand) and...

I'm considering building a modified version of this: http://www.pvcplans.com/PoultryPen.pdf 3 feet tall for turkeys. The interior space is 100 sqft, as it's 10x10. How many turkeys would reasonably, ethically fit in that space, with enough room to forage?

Are they not sewing them back up afterward?

Mine eat like they're starving, so I think I need to give them more. But I really feel like they'll just eat and eat and then go lay in the coop for the rest of the day if I give them as much as they'll eat. Maybe I'll increase it a little bit. They'd rather chase me around the yard hoping I'll...

We've always done free access to dry feed for the chickens, but we've now switched to using fermented feed. I feed them in the morning when I let them out, but I'm not sure how much I should be feeding them. They're free range all day, but they're also lazy and will stay in the coop all day if I...

So, my colony is currently a dog run from the previous owners of the house. It's HUGE and it makes me very happy. But for the moment the rabbits are all locked into their cages at night until I get up in the morning, and there's a piece of plywood I put over the top if I think it might rain. I...
