    Garden plan is essentially frantic and frequent planting, rotating areas, in hopes of keeping enough green going for these agents of destruction. Adding a true roof to the run, and battling a rat that is tunneling in from the shed, five feet away, under the HWC apron. 🤬

    Hi! I haven’t been posting as much recently, but I’ve been reading yours. I’m longing for the return of spring and getting some green back in the yard!

    Tea and honey (no lemon) work well for me. I love coffee, but I drink it black, and I’m struggling with the thought of stirring honey into it.

    Show me your coop cleaning/maintenance supplies! Need a buy list!

    You mentioned mouse droppings. What are you doing to control the mouse infestation? (Behind mice come rats.) This is a big deal and deserves priority in your to-do list. I use the deep litter method in my run, a polite way of saying that I dump all the chicken doots on the ground and dig them...

    Chicken run 12x20

    Can you help us out a bit? Is your concern that the plan’s 2x6’s won’t be strong enough to span 6’ instead of 5’? (If you have a standard center gable roof.) Or span 12’ instead of 10’? (If you have a one-slope shed-style roof.) Will you be maintaining the same pitch (slope) over the longer...

    Welp, after jokingly musing with my husband about who would be the first to go broody, I found Tessa (SS) on the nest about 30 minutes before sundown, and still there when I went to lock up the coop. No egg. 🙄

    Hows the weather at your coop?

    I’m crossing my fingers, toes, eyes, and anything else crossable that the ground has thawed enough to work up. It seems to take soil forever to catch up with air temps.

    I’ve had reliable results with putting them in a small paper bag and then into one of the produce drawers in my fridge, covering the bag with (for instance) Brussels sprouts or mushrooms, and then forgetting about them for about the same period of time. Works like a charm!

    And if not a Woods fresh air open wall layout, then a ton of ventilation cut in under the eaves.

    New Chicken Owner

    That’s a huge amount of space (I’m jealous!), but it’s completely without shade. If your summers are hot, your chickens will need shade, plus they will need emergency shelter from hawks and other overhead predators. So, a suggestion: plant shade trees that are native to your area. Protect them...

    Exactly! And this commercial gets mentioned when people talk about (non-) effective advertising - it's memorable and loved, but people have no idea what the product was. (I think it could be used to sell lint rollers - that's one of the funniest gags in the commercial to me.) It was for EDS...

    New Coop/Run Setup, All Suggestions Welcome! (Eglu Coop)

    Gorgeous girls!! 😍 Be sure to show some love to the EE! They are VERY flighty, and I don’t imagine that mine will ever get anywhere close to being cuddly, but they can be great flock guardians for overhead predators. They are excellent fliers and will happily fly up to the top of the 5’ (or...
