    Suggestions on adding ventilation in the PNW

    Suggestions on adding ventilation in the PNW

    We live in the PNW, so there is a lot of rain about nine months a year. We converted a new shed from Home Depot to our coop and put ventilation holes in the front and back, but need more. What are your suggestions on where to add ventilation--without getting water inside the coop? We don't...

    Help... mama heating pad or heat plate?

    So do you put the heating pad on top of the frame, or underneath the frame? I was seeing talk about underneath because they can get their heads stuck between frame and heating pad if it's on top.

    Best hatcharies/breeders for chicks in September?

    New to chickens and unfortunately I won't be able to get any until September. We are looking to get day-old (or so) chicks Unfortunately, most of the locations around us won't have chicks left, or if they are local raisers, they only have one of the breeds we are looking for. I have several...

    Type A Researcher Just Beginning

    Oh wow! LOL, depsite their reputation, Dobies are such sensitive creatures. Kota HATES the rain and will pee on our concrete patio rather than go in the rain. But when she has her search and rescue vest on, she has no problem being in the rain.

    Type A Researcher Just Beginning

    Thank you. If we were to get one, it would definitely be just "one" for the cuteness factor for my kids. LOL. But I also read they don't do well getting wet and we live in rainy Washington... but I know some people who have Silkies here so it's definitely one of my research topics.
