I have had a small radio playing inside my chicken coop/run, which is all one roofed building, for a year+ and it has successfully kept the resident fox, and bears out of my fenced in property. The chickens seem to like it and have even learned to line dance😂 They are only allowed to free range...

Here they are… we wrap 95% of it in the winter with construction plastic to keep out the wind, rain, snow. Keeps the sand floor nice and dry, I put hay on the floor under the coop for them to nestle into when it’s chilly. inside the coop is a sand floor(on top of linoleum) for ease of cleaning...

Sorry I keep getting interrupted, lol they are coming

Here are many pictures showing the coop inside the run, not taking up any of the actual floor space. Nest boxes accessed from inside the run and 4 clean out doors around the back. My five hens love this chicken palace.

Not true if it’s elevated

Buy some mealworms, or dried black fly larva… I but it from a company called Grublies, they are grown in the USA, not China like most of the others. put them in an empty plastic container, like and old spice or sugar container. Shake the shaker, call them, give them some wormies…..walk away...

I use sand! No need for special deodorizers, I also clean it every day, and several times after I will scoop if there’s the need. Sand in the coop, and the run. Coop is in the run.

Where did you get the Grandpa Feeder, I can’t find them, out of stock indefinitely.

My girls only free range when I am home, if I go out for even a short errand, they get put back in their locked run.

I’m more curious about the rug in your run🤦‍♀️ Why would you put a rug in the run? Isn’t it hard to keep clean? in very cold weather I have a corner of my run under the coop where I pile straw so they can keep warm, but everywhere else it’s sand. I have to say I have never seen a rug in a...

It is never ok to expose chickens to water, moisture, dampness of any kind, of any degree. This structure looks like a coop to me, roost bars, poop shelves, and hopefully that dark little box is not a nest box. A rain gutter feeding into any structure used for your birds is not ok. Sickness and...

Traps won’t catch a hawk, and I agree that it was most likely a hawk. One of my hens was attacked by a hawk about a month ago, I think it snagged her and then dropped her, she got away. She also had one puncture wound on the back of her neck and it was bleeding. She had a lot of feathers lost...

Beautiful Light Brahma, I have one as well.

Your coop and run are beautiful. I didn’t realize that your roof was clear roof panels. What could your neighbor possible object to with transparent roofing🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️You mentioned that your neighbor had a “lawyer”, probable a friend or family member who is working to intimidate you. Do you...

This is the coop my husband built for me, I did all the painting and finish work. your coop is beautiful!

get a variance, I believe as long as your closest neighbor to the run doesn’t object and gives their 👍🏻, then they will let you keep the roof. my neighbor had to get a variance to build his garage because it would have been too close to the line, I gave him my ok and the town let it happen. I am...

I have a fan in my coop, I got it at Tractor Supply, so it’s heavy duty. I run it at night facing the roost bar so they get a breeze, and circulated air all night. I prop open the nest boxes to allow air to circulate while they are in there laying, so it’s not so hot and stuffy. I always buy...

My routine takes about 10 minutes a day to clean out the run and the coop. I have a sand/dirt floor in the run and I only use sand in the coop, shavings in the nest boxes. Sand/dirt is a breeze to clean I use a long handled metal cat litter scoop. The droppings are sifted out quickly and the...

Sand, easy to clean every day....
