    Is there an AC you can put in the chicken coop? I could really use advice!!!

    I'm not sure how an AC unit would get clogged. It's bringing in air from the backside of the unit, and blowing it into the coop.

    I use a window AC unit to cool off the coop at night. I don't have a tree to shade their coop yet.

    I'm confused about my electric fence's power

    I did go back out and test it when it got darker and the 4 kv was also lighting up.

    I'm confused about my electric fence's power

    I bought the tester because I didn't want to touch it ..haha. In the last place, I did touch it and it about jerked my arm out of the socket but I had the rod all the way in , which is 3 feet. I buy the T rods which are easy to pound in with a hammer....well easier. The tester I just...

    I'm confused about my electric fence's power

    I have my poultry fence (50ft) wrapped around my coop-shed. The tester says 2 Kv, does anyone know if that's enough to deter raccoons from getting in the windows. My Gallagher charger says .26 joules and .40 store joules...up to 25 miles. I don't have the ground rod as deep as it can go and...

    I'm looking for ideas for a way to build a simple tree bench for protection below

    The bench would be ideal because I would make mowing easier...and it would keep them under the tree most of the time and give them shade but the tree is too big, so since time is of the essence, I am just making a quick 4x4 square shelter, near the tree. I moved them from their lush japanese...

    I'm looking for ideas for a way to build a simple tree bench for protection below

    I did find a simpler bench tree to make...something that I can make with little effort...I needed a bench they could hang under. There are purchase-able options but they had no space beneath the bench. My tree is huge though, so we'll see if it's doable.

    I'm looking for ideas for a way to build a simple tree bench for protection below

    At first I was thinking of like an extended tarp from the privacy fence to the HUGE tree but then I came across an image of a tree bench. I need something quick because they have no cover at all in their new area until the bushes and trees grow enough. I free range in the city, and I do have a...

    Winter Chicken Care - Killed My Girl With Kindness

    I'd like to add that giving my chickens cracked corn caused impacted crops in two of my older girls. I won't be doing that anymore. One died and one made it but it took a lot to get her well.

    I have an obese chicken

    Because the obese ones beat everybody to the feeder and would eat it all and then only the others would get thin.

    I have an obese chicken

    I rescued her from some "immigrant nomads" that didn't take care of her or her sisters. They actually jumped the fence. So she went a long time without food and now she's so overweight I was shocked when I picked her up. I want to stop feeding all my hens for a few days...they have plenty of...

    I have a concrete floor but hate it...I'm wondering if anyone has used those rubber mats over concrete?

    Thanks I like the idea of the PDZ....I've heard of it but never used it.

    I have a concrete floor but hate it...I'm wondering if anyone has used those rubber mats over concrete?

    The heavy part is bad...as I only have a walk door. So that may be a deterrent for me. And why not just use a kitty litter scoop?

    I have a concrete floor but hate it...I'm wondering if anyone has used those rubber mats over concrete?

    Building a raised floor is an awesome idea. I wonder if vinyl is easier to clean than concrete.

    Would you happen to have a picture of your drop boards?

    I have a concrete floor but hate it...I'm wondering if anyone has used those rubber mats over concrete?

    I know nothing about poop boards. I love a dirt floor because the poop just vanishes.

    And I appreciate you answering me. Yes I would use straw but it has to be changed frequently on a concrete floor. I intended the coop to be a dirt floor but that wasn't possible. And that's good to know about the sand.
