Luckily, I haven't had too many incidents of that. I didn't say my setup was best, I was just offering an opinion of what works for me🤷🏼‍♀️

I made mine a little higher, and I'm glad I did. I also have a lip on the board which my chickens decided was great for roosting (my board is elevated off the floor). It was only a 1x4, so I had to add a 2x4 next to it so they had an adequate roosting bar. I think the bar around 16" above the...

Do you have a picture of your setup you could share? I have a 10x14 foot coop and a 25x16 foot run, and want to add on a large netted area, probably 25x40 feet, and I'm having a hard time finding the best way to go about it.

I used the same size wood for our poo box frame and the chickens roosted on it at night. I had to put another 2x4 with the wide side up for them. I'm not saying yours will do the same, but be prepared for them to do the exact opposite of what you planned 😅

This is brilliant!

Nice! I made mine a bit shorter and easier to climb because I have some bigger gals😆

Not better, just different😊 And they are pretty amazing❤️

I didn't think about putting them against the coop. That would have been much easier 😆

Made a litte pallet A-frame for the chicks this week. They really like climbing it and sleeping under it😊 I cut about 15" off the end of the pallets leaving 1 bottom stringer and 2 top stringers that will be made into shelves for spray paint cans. Eventually 😆

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you. But as a Little House On The Prairie fan, I love their names❤️😅

Thank you!

Y'all, this is A Boy Named Sue (was Susan until he started crowing 😆). His crest droops to his right, and when he looks at things he tilts his head to see it with his uncovered eye. He understandably gets freaked out when things come at him from his blind side. Would you cut the feathers and...

This is very thorough! Thank you, I will definitely take all this into consideration😊

Thanks everyone! Looks like I'll leave the run as-is then bring some chips in before the rain comes😊

There's a man door on one end we can get the wheelbarrow in 😊

Thanks! The drainage... it's not the best. We may end up putting a French drain in or next to it.

Situation: We converted an unused shed into a coop and put the run around 2 sides of it. 8'x32' has a roof over it, and 8'x16' is uncovered. There's a bit of large gravel around the shed and grass (for now) over the rest and we have clay soil. I love being with the chicks (ten-12 week old...

Thank you! I will check it out!

Awesome. We're new to chickens and gardening, so tips are appreciated! I want to get my freeloaders involved in the composing, so I think I'll give them access to it😊

Excellent! Thank you for the confirmation 😊
