    Anyone have their coop inside of a large run? Pics?

    I built a coop inside a run, but need to enter run to get coop access, unfortunately. I did that for security reasons. Pics in case useful.

    Thanks! I like to think the chickens appreciate it, too, but I know they could care less.

    Mosquitoes

    Could you post photographs of this setup? Also would be curious to see pics of what you catch inside.

    Mosquitoes

    This company is being sued. The salt inside doesn't do a thing, apparently. Total scam.

    Mosquitos and the coop

    A high-powered fan is an excellent solution that always works.

    DEET is fantastic and has been monitored for years for safety concerns. Sure, don't spray it in your eyes and don't drink it, but topically it's not going to harm you.

    Spartan Mosquito is being sued for false advertising. The company claimed that the salt killed the adult mosquitoes in yards but per scientists, salt does not kill mosquitoes. Scientists in Florida even tested the tubes and found they were ineffective. Unfortunately a scam.

    My Sunflower Coop

    Finally finished my coop. It's a walk-in, slant-roof design built largely of scrap lumber I found around town. Sunflower siding is from an 8 x 12' backdrop that I'd constructed for my daughter's graduation party (for photo ops). Built inside a 6 x 8 x 30' wire structure that previously was my...

    I'm going to do the experiment this week once. Will be interesting to see what they do, though eventually I'll resort to the lockdown technique. Thanks for the tips.

    Moving to a new coop - Tips & Recommendations

    Is there any universe in which chickens will move into a nearby (and far better) coop on their own? Seems like in nature their ancestors must have made that calculus occasionally. I'm totally fine with locking them into their new house for several days but I'm super curious whether they might do...

    Moved chickens to new coop

    I'm curious whether they still had access to the old coop, or whether the move involved a completely different location. I'm close to the point of finishing a new coop and I'm wondering whether they will move in on their own. I know that forcing the move works (and is recommended by everyone)...

    They always look so surprised when I spy on them at night.
