    New Coop/Run Build Day 1 Progress!!!

    I should probably clarify that when I say wood chips I mean mulch. I will have about a foot of mulch for the ground of the run. I keep saying wood chips and I think people might think I mean the little wood shavings. Sorry for any confusion. I found Lowes has undyed hardwood mulch. It's been...

    Here is the ground I'm dealing with. Their current run sits on clay/rock. They have about 10" of wood chips on top of that. They dig down to the clay and stop there. Only one hole in the run currently. They wiggle around in that. Problem I have is back in the day they used to throw thrash in...

    Once I get the run all built out it will be covered. I'm hoping to mitigate 99% of the rain on the spot. My current run is almost completely dry, even during the worst rain storm.

That will be the entire base for the coop and run. Then I was thinking of running a border of either...

    New Coop/Run Build Day 1 Progress!!!

    Plan on taking photos as I progress for sure. I was considering a trench drain to make sure water gets out from the run area. But being on a hill and having larger rocks as a base should be good. Also the run and coop will have a roof, diverting rain away. I guess I was over thinking and over...

    New Coop/Run Build Day 1 Progress!!!

    Got a lot of work done today prepping the new coop/run site. There was several decades of leaf on the ground. This part of the property was used as a dump and burn site. I'm digging up tons of old household items, broken glass, cans, bottles, etc. Because of this I have decided I can't use the...
