Exactly noone uses the second nesting box and they do this when the nesting box is occupied So if I understood you correctly, then there is absolutely nothing to worry about having mice around at night ? They are fully safe? Even though they are asleep (just worried a mice will give it a...

They wake me up every day because they want to go out. ( I will expand their run to make it bigger). They ruined all the garden. More mice and it got stinky. They all lay eggs in same place, so when two want to do it at the same time then one screams here head off. They keep randomly screaming...

Hope this is allowed, please remove if it isn't allowed. I am a new member over here, bought a house with 3 chickens that are driving me nuts hahaha. Since almost everyone is home these days, was wondering if it is a good idea to have a community hangout today ? Please comment if interested and...

I was researching after this and most people said that chickens eat the rats. Not confirmed but I am just worried because rats come at night when chickens are asleep For me they only eat the food

Just bought two traps from home Depot yesterday hahaha. Oh I know they are way too smart especially if you compare them to chickens 😂

I thought I had a predator proof run but I kept noticing that the food disappears everynight even though I restock. So I put solar lights and monitored. Right after sunset 4 rats stopped by and one made it into the run. She went in between the space between the bottom of the door and the wood(...

Nice the food is my next thing to worry about after I get this sorted, I definitely didn't do the right thing. I will fix them a tiny perch with the extra wood I have leftover ( sometimes I get free homedepot leftover wood for free or 70%off, which can be perfect for this. Hoping to make the...

I took some measurements, the current run is 9ft x 6ft, the extended version (all the way from end to end, including the bottom space would be 22ft x6ft). I think that should be good for...

Agree, that will make it less work for me too :). I responded on the comment below with how I am planning on doing it

I see, I was planning on making the little playground as their coop, removing the coop, and extending the run (something like in the picture). It is a lot of work and bit expensive since I will need to get pressure treated wood but might be worth it. Thanks for your feedback, I didnt know that...

Hello Chicken family, I recently purchased a house that came with three chickens. I let the chickens out of the run but they messed up the garden so I want to start locking them in. Now, every morning they cry like crazy as soon as they wake up so I can open the run. Any advice on how to stop...

Great article! Looking to do something similar so I have two questions: 1. Are you planning on letting your chicken outside of the run or will they stay there? 2. What type of wood did you use? I heard you need to use pressure treated but it looks to be more than double the price
