post your chicken coop pictures here!
Thanks for your idea!! I may, indeed, build them a raised dust bath. Yes, the feed is in rubbermaid bin out at the coop. The water and feed hang from a rectangular hole in a piece of plywood (suspended like a roof over their feeding stump). I may change to galvanized, but I don't know if I...- meralgia

It only took the squirrel a little over three weeks to start chewing the lid that protects the chicken feed from the elements. It also means that he can't find an easy way into the coop, which is good news for their protection! :) I got the five chickens on August 1, my first flock, and I...- meralgia

Roofed and painted!! I still have two walls to cover in back and the enclosure still needs a trench with the hardware cloth. I couldn't wait to start the decorative trim with the maple branches cut in half... bicycle inner tubes work great to lash them down to the sawhorses so they won't turn...- meralgia
