How wide is your run? Are you supporting the netting in the center? We have a large space and i'm trying to figure out the netting part.

Anyone have a really large area they are putting the netting over? How are you supporting it? I feel like attaching it to the perimeter is not enough. It will sag in the center especially when the snow comes. We have an area roughly 30' x 50' that is fenced with the 8'x8' coop inside. Many of...

So we moved the chickens from the brooder, which the dog was very interested in, to the coop and run. The dogs will never be in the chickens space, I know they can’t be trusted. But, when the chickens are outside their coop in their run visible to the dog, she goes nuts. Sometimes she sits at...

Hopefully the others will learn from the one that already has it figured out.

I have 8 pullets that recently moved into their coop from the brooder. I have one that I think I’m going to name Indy because she is my independent lady, who in the evening is up on the roosting pole all by herself. All the others huddle up into the back left corner of the coop. I know they are...

You have mentioned ventilation twice, that we need more than you think. We bought one of those shed kits from lowes and built and 8x8 with 6' walls. We put in two 8"x16" air vents. The chickens will be out in a large yard during the day, but during the winter while there is snow on the ground I...
