"...saturated..." is worry some - year round? particular location? There is a current thread that came to mind of a coop & run build in a wet location. Worth a read: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/my-coop-design-and-build-blog.1612130/page-7

I have had a few instances of eggs being eaten while in the new nests. I also have two pullets that sleep in the new nests and their waste will stop the egg from rolling. I am moving these two from nests to roosts each evening until they are no longer in the nests.

As of an hour ago I have 10 cockerels in cages outside the main coop/run. Two Chantecler males left, one very subservient; I may move the dominant one to join two others in the larger of the new cages... I did not realize how many males I had but then they became teenaged; I previously moved 5...

Peak vents can get blocked by snow in the winter and you no longer have that ventilation.

I spent yesterday picking up the cages (~200km round trip) and setting it up once I got home (very keen to get 6 & 9 month cockerels away from the ladies). The location is temporary...

I believe aart buys PDZ at Tractor Supply. Price has gone up, now $14.99/bag, does go on sale.

A skirt is pieces of hardware cloth attached to the bottom outside edges of the run or coop that deters predators from digging under the walls and inside the run/coop. The HC is usually 16-18 inches wide and lays flat on the ground. It works because animals will go the the vertical wall and...

I have a large coop & covered run plus a 8' x 5' x 3' cage I use for overflow, currently holding bachelors. I hatch at least once a year to refresh laying hens and to expand/refocus what breeds I have in the flock. My plan is keep cockerels for at least six months then process for eating. I...

@Kiki you were correct. I deleted the attachments, gone. Now I will try to figure out your advice how to re-org.

That makes sense, I did not delete them as attachments, will try.

I will be more careful but I think I just had the one session open. Also, that would not explain the deleted pictures moving to another page.

I modified the "Page" I added, deleted several pictures and added one. I looked this morning and see the deleted pictures have ended up as a second "Page" at the end of my added "Page. I am confused about how this functionality works? Anyone?

Plus 3 nest holes... I continue to cut/fit pieces and sections and "dry fit" together. Below the front extension piece for 3 more nests, total of 7. Also building nest dividers: will attach to back wall using two narrow 7' boards, horizontally top and bottom, with slots cut vertically; final...

Not sure I understand the analogy...

@Kiki I just looked again and see the new "Page" link shown. Not sure what happened last time but the link was already open. Perhaps i clicked on the Table of Contents entry?

Keep scrolling. What you see above are pictures from an addition three winters back that should have been a "Page" unto itself with my last add as "Page" 2. Can I change this? Seems to me I should be able to with copy/paste and then delete Page?

Hmmmm... I have always thought of a 'blog' as a singularity. BYC is more community than that. But thank you for the reminder.

I was re-looking at my Article, now updated with 1 page. Previously I had clicked on the new page in "Table of Contents", got transferred to my text. Today I scrolled to the bottom of my original Article post and see my new text attached "at the bottom". BYC's current digital layout, in my...

Oh. Does not the feedback verbiage, # of pages, views, etc. give you the necessary assurances? It's OK we BYCers are a supportive crew, we will applaud you on.
