The hexchat app cost $10, so I passed on that. But it looks like you just go to freenode and join a channel? I think I'm in the right place. haha. This is all new to me.

Looks great, so far! Looks like you have a Kreg jig. Maybe this will be a good excuse to get myself one! To answer your questions from earlier; Windows 10. No monitor. Keyboard and mouse I'm good on. I have an old laptop and I was hoping to maybe somehow use that screen for the Pi. Not...

There is a ton of info here. I don't understand much of the technical aspects...yet. I am working on that and am saving this to return to when I do.

I'm thinking like you in regards to that locking mechanism. At first I thought it was pretty cool, and I guess I still think it's neat, but for all the reasons you state it just doesn't appear practical for a chicken coop. I also prefer the way you are doing the open/close using the time. Can...

JT; have you seen this video yet? It looks like he has some ideas worth "borrowing".

A big thank you to WallerBlake and JT for answering my questions. JT; I apologize for the thread hijack. Great thread, by the way! I look forward to it growing with hopefully more people contributing their code.

JT, Thanks for the invite in the other thread. OT for a moment: I don't know any code other than G&M (I'm a CNC programmer) but am very interested in learning python and playing around with a RaspberryPi. I'm in the early stages of it all. I haven't even built a coop yet, but want to...

I am really interested in this tech side of chicken keeping. However, I live in northern North Dakota. Winters cant get quite cold. Does anyone know how the bitter cold will affect a Raspberry Pi? Or the any of the other electronics needed for door openers and cameras?

Good luck in your house hunt! One hour drive from Bismarck gives you a nice sized search area. I bet you'll find a nice farmstead with multiple acres and not have to worry about any stupid city ordinances!

I noticed that I was editing my post as you were posting your reply. I just want to re-post my P.S., just in case you missed it. It may prove helpful...I hope! P.S. I just had a thought; you could get a hold of the County Extension Agent in the county you are looking in, and maybe he or she...

The answer you're getting from realtors sounds like they really don't know and don't feel like looking into it for you. Are you talking about buying within the city limits of the towns you mentioned? You said "house with property" so I'm unsure if you are looking in or out of town. If out in...

Welcome Cheers2Ya! I'm a first timer with chickens, too. Well, I will be once I move past the planning stages and into the doing stages! Good luck with your new chicken adventure! Have you started converting your shed into a coop yet?

Thanks for the link to your coop tour 'Layers. It's nice to see other people's coops.

So...a little heads-up for my fellow NoDaks; I was just perusing the chicken raising books on Amazon. The kindle edition of Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens, 3rd Edition is available for $1.99! Even if you have the printed book (as I do) $2 is just too cheap to not get an electronic copy to...

Ahh. OK. Thanks for posting. I'll watch it at work tomorrow...on a data usage limit at home.

I can't see any pictures...is it something wrong on my end?

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and great advice! For now I am going to stick with one breed; Buckeye. There are other breeds out there that certainly catch my eye, but at least until I get some experience I would like to focus on one. I think it will be easier if/when I try to get a...

Quote: I was planning on insulating and finishing off the inside with poly and OSB so the chickens can't get at it, and to seal up drafts as well. And it'll just give it a nice finished look. That reminds me, I was also considering painting the inside white, just to brighten it up some. Are...

North Dakota isn't listed, and yet this thread has 335 posts: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/645650/north-dakota

Hi fellow North Dakotan's! I just joined and am looking forwarding to meeting some folks from our fine state. Especially in the NE corner. I live in the Grafton area. I didn't read this entire thread, but in the last few pages, it seems like most folks are central or west? Regardless, I'm...
