    Orpington Stronghold - **article has multiple pages** | Updates

    Winter 2024-2025 - storm windows added to the run. Over time the vinyl sheets we use to protect the covered run from wind and snow have been shrinking making it very difficult to install in cold weather and to open and close when ventilation was needed. So we came up with these hinged frames...

    Orpingtons and Bielefelders cross chicks 2023

    Yes I agree they are not cheap! The motor cover definitely helps, also not cheap but if it helps save the mothor definitely worth it. One thing that would be really useful would be some soert of handle for when you lift the cover. I always felt like I was going to lose my grip and drop it on...

    FYI: I don’t know if you are aware but you can get some “dividers”, “raisers” and other accessories for The Maticoopx and other incubators on Etsy. Not cheap but useful. I ended up using the raisers and the cover for the motor. I think they work well. For keeping the eggs upright I just...
