    Flies no more!! Found the perfect fly repellent.

    Quote: Now that is very interesting. That's probably why my coops don't smell like chicken poop at all. I use probably 4-5 trees in a 6X8 coop and as soon as they start to lose their strength...about 2-3 weeks...I hang another beside it. Eventually I take them down when they have lost all...

    "Finishing" CX's by freeranging

    Chop block

    That's what I do. If you put the nails at the very edge of the block, you can position a bucket underneath to catch the severed head as it falls
