It was easy! My husband took a dremmil multi tool with a 1” cut off wheel to cut the gutter sized hole in the bottom of a 20 gallon metal garbage can. The hole was cut as close to the side of the can as possible. The gutter piece needs to be long enough to fit right up under the feed opening for...

Thanks! Good to know.

Any of you ever think "Why am i here" or "am i ever going to contribute anything to this world" or even "will I be remembered for anything after i gone?" Well those questions have now been answered for me! Behold my GENIUS! I have had chickens for about 4 years now and over the last year I...

Rats dig under my buried mesh wire more then a foot deep. I would install the mesh under the entire coop.

Oh yes, the vent will still be impeded outside of the house, anything I build will be at least 6" from the actual vent port so I can remove lint and such. This is pointed at the ground. I was thinking to catch most of the air and direct it up and away rather the extend the vent piping. A good...

I'm thinking of letting the vent stay where it is and build a funnel and piping system so they the lint will spit out on the ground but the air will funnel up. My husband says to just build a wall with corrugated metal around the vent. I'll post Picts when I figure it out and build it.

This is my coop, I will be letting the chicks run around outside when I'm home.

I live in Seattle (very wet) and my bedding in the run is sand. I'm thinking that it will for sure be a problem in the winter, but will the dryer sheet scents be a problem in the summer? Do chickens get allergies like people and dogs? It seems to steam/fume right in the run.

My chicken coop and run is about 5 feet from the house. I plan on making a wire box around where the vent is to prevent the chickens from eating lint, but will the vented fumes bother the chickens? Will it cause excess moisture in the coop?

Thank you all, I am so thankful to have all your experience at hand!

I was thinking the moisture that comes with the air might bother them. It's on about 5 feet away.

I have a kit coop the peublo grande from rugged ranch. It was easy to build and light enough to move around with two people. It's seems very small for four chickens. I like it but wish I got a bigger one.

My house dryer vent vents near the coop. Is this acceptable? And if not should I put up something in front of the coop?
