    Anyone using the Root Assassin Rake?

    I'm seriously considering getting one of these. I'm curious to know if anyone else has one and how they like it. I'm under 5' tall, and I'm a bit concerned about the two-piece handle. Most of the tools I've bought with two-piece handles don't stay put together well...

    About those raphides and nitrates...

    http://www.poultryhelp.com/toxicplants.html I've been going through the list of toxic plants posted from another thread and am horrified by how many of them I have growing in my yard already! What I'm wondering is if those that are listed as having plant raphides that will irritate the mouths...

    Favorite tools and those to avoid?

    I'm still new at this whole idea of building a predator-proof run and reading everything I can get my hands on. Now I'm wondering what tools you chicken pros have found to be the most useful. (For example: Do you use hog rings? If so, what's the most versatile tool that you've found and what...

    Anyone using masonry ladders to make run areas?

    I picked up nine masonry ladders today (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-8-in-Ladder-Mesh-Block-GRLBMG08/203590053), which look kind of like this when set up as hoops: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/281756520422309513/ The ladders were cheaper than PVC pipe plus the requisite affixing...

    River sand or granite sand?

    I will wind up doing a combination of sand and more DL-type methods, but I want to know which of these sand types you would choose as a base layer for a run? River sand or granite sand? http://www.pallaslandscapesupply.com/sand.html

    Please stop me if I'm about to make a big mistake

    When Wayfair sent me a completely new patio gazebo free when two of the bolts in my first one were bent, I took the leap to seriously override my partner's objections to chickens. Here's the gazebo, and I have a second one I will use as my run frame, sans the fabric cover and raised venting...

    Automatic door for small Formex Snaplock Coop?

    I'm looking at the coop doors that are available and, not being at all handy, am confused. It looks to me like all of the doors (including the Ador door that was posted in one of the threads as being perfect for the large Snaplock coop) are too large for my little coop. Has anyone ordered the...

    So I took it as an omen...and here I am!

    I ordered a patio gazebo from Wayfair that arrived with two of the most important bolts bent beyond usable. I asked for replacements of those two bolts, and they sent me a whole new gazebo and said keep the old one for spare parts! So I said to myself, okay, this means I don't have to buy a...
