    little tikes log cabin

    Hi Vepla, I'm going to Fitts Mill in Scituate this weekend to get hay. Haven't decided yet quite how to stack it around the coop, but I'll figure something out. I'm also going to hang a thermometer in there, too, to monitor the temperature. I think we still have plenty of time before it...

    little tikes log cabin

    Hi Vepla, Thanks for writing. As far as insulation, I only used two cans. There was already a hole in the bottom of each wall panel when I bought it (water was draining from them), so I sprayed insulation in those and don't think it is filled completely. I didn't want to overdo it and just...

    little tikes log cabin

    Hi Everyone, I just joined BYC and I'm a first time chicken owner. We finished our coop and run last weekend and the chickens seem to love it. Originally, the log cabin was intended as a summer coop, but I'm wondering if they will be okay in it for the winter. Any suggestions?

    Hello from Mass.

    New to the site and new to chickens. Got a lot of great information from everyone here on BYC. My chicks are five weeks old now and we just finished the coop and run last weekend. They are doing great in it so far and, hopefully, if I run into any problems, I'll be able to find the answers...
