Makes sense, I was worried they may fall through it too. Especially if I want an automatic door for them.. back to the drawing board!

Hi all! So I'm in the process of moving and my girls cannot come with me 😔 BUT my in-laws said I can keep them at their place! They have an old truck bed(just the topper, bed and wheels) that i plan on using for the coop. There's 3 large windows already netted off(2 on the side one in the...

Perfect thats what I was hoping for! Thank you 🙂🙂

Hi All, I have a broody hen who is laying on eggs. I have marked them so I know which ones she is sitting on. My question is, can I leave her in the coop/run with the others to raise the chicks? She's high in the hierarchy and the other hens barely let me near her when I go in to check their...

I did try this yesterday and it got the whole flock in an up roar. But I'll be persistent with it and keep trying.

I have a hen who used to be the sweetest and friendliest pullet. Now when I go out there she pecks at my boots, she attacks my hands when I go to pet the other girls, feed snacks, grab an egg, check food, etc. I have picked her up and carried her around and away from the flock and that helped...

Its a heated dog water dish. So idk the actual size

I have not tried it. I worry about them tipping it and getting the bedding wet and the humidity it would cause.

My door faces Southeast and I crack it just enough for them to get in and out, I leave a large stick in there so it doesn't close. My extension cord is frozen to the ground so I can't move their heated water dish inside. Its surrounded by straw and blocked from the wind so their water doesn't...

Its pretty ventilated, but my extention cord is frozen to the ground, so I can't move it and the freezing weather should be leaving this coming week. It would only be for Saturday they'd get water offered 2x

So I live in MN its going to be bitterly cold, -25 below real temp without windchill. I have 9 chickens in a 8x8x10. Its insulated but NOT heated. They've been fine so far. Food is in the coop and I have a heated water in their unwrapped run. Now working from home I've been able to keep them...

Idk why I live here haha... I here 50s are coming in a couple weeks!!

I feel the same! I'm in MN real temp is -25 without windchill 🥶🥶.... I have my chickens locked in their insulated, but unheated coop. I bring them eggs and oatmeal in the AM, hot water 3x a day to drink(I take it out with me but make sure everyone has a drink) and then some scratch before...

Yeah they're run is 16x16x12 and covered with chicken wire. So their run is secure as we have wire going 2 feet under and 2 feet out for any diggers. I just feel bad that they got used to coming out and now they're locked up. I do give them lots of stuff to do with hanging veggies and hiding...

Yeah we have 2.5 acres so fencing isn't an affordable option. Maybe they'll just have to suck it up until I can sit outside, we live in MN so right now isn't an option.

Hi All, So I started out with 9 hens and had them free ranging 10AM-3PM. I work remote and would go out and let them out when the last neighbor left for work and then would put them back in before the neighbors got home. Well a couple weeks ago a neighbor left for out of town and had a house...

I kept the dryer on cool and low, she seemed to enjoy it fluffing herself and turning for me. She's all dry and back out with her clan

I'll have to wait for someone to come home then... its in the room with the big ol dog lol. She seems content chilling on my lap while I work so no rush.

Hi all, I had to bring my one girl in and bathe her(just used warm water) the others have seemed to have pooped all over her back and it was under her wings and her feathers were all clumped together. She is wrapped in a towel now. I live in MN tonights low is to be around 20ish. How can I...
