This is that the situation is. It does get "wet" to an extent but honestly not for long. It's more so of an issue with the bald spots in the back exposing the hardware cloth & coming out the front that I'm trying to resolve.
Hi all. So our chicken coop and run is on a slope, we thought we did a good job getting it flattened out but unfortunately not. We have sand in our coop & with it being sloped it's coming out the front door constantly. It's also causing bald spots in the back. We have hardware cloth on the...
I have 4 fully featured chicks that are 4 weeks old. 2 cream legbars & 2 olive eggers. They're currently in my garage with a heat source but I want them out lol. I've got 8, 13 week old pullets in the coop already. Our lows where we live are 68-70 at night and it's about 80-85 during the day...
Can you share your opinion if my 7 week old Smokey pearl is a roo or hen? Wondering because it's a rare breed and not many can share from experience. Hope the little guy got a new home!
Hi 👋 I have one who is 7 weeks, Sprinkles, and I'm suspecting a roo. She's a my daughter's favorite but she's a little standoff-ish.
Her speckles went a way quickly though from when she was a little one, hoping the come back.
I have a question for you! Did either of your Smokey pearls look like this at 7 weeks? Trying to figure out if I have a Roo or not.
I'll add he/she was grayer when we got her and is just a touch more silver than our white leghorn at 7 weeks so light all around like yours were.
We have a finished coop and run with the chicks happily out in it now! But I'm wondering where/how to store all the food and chicken supplies? My thought was the garage, but it's a bit of a hike for us. Thanks for sharing what you do!
Would you recommend enclosing this portion, and having a door to open and close at night? Or let it remain open 24-7 since the run is enclosed with hardware cloth/roof? My husband likes this idea you gave him.
They've been perching on the wood inside but we're planning to add more perches in the corners like a ladder kind of. That's a long stump, I appreciate the feedback! We've got work to do for sure. Thanks!
