    I've got a radio tuned in to NPR for my flock. They seem to like the classical music and the talk and news. Heck! I'm sure they know more about current events then I do! The radio calms them...they aren't started by every little noise. I also have one of those swirly low wattage red lights on at...

I add new "Furniture" to my birds run, move things around...trying to enrich their surroundings..they love "Up" and your new coop has lots of options....for adding a "jungle gym" for your birds...I just added a couple of perches inside a chick cage...it was...

    This photo is of the north wall of the run....I didn't want to cut the plastic! It's gray on one side and white on the other.

    I used welded wire on all surfaces of my 10X25 ft enclosed run. The roof is also covered with 18 ml poly plastic, the type that is used to cover hoop garages...it works great![/IMG][/IMG]The few years, I had a heavy weight tarp covering the run roof. Last year it needed to be replaced and I...

    Thank you to all for the support! And yes! bears hibernate in the winter, but they wake up really hungry in the spring...I got smart, this time around and used welded wire for the whole enclosed run...all the Windows and my removable screen door have screen (to keep out mosquitoes and flies) and...

    at least three feet of snow covers just about any piece of open ground in this area...sorry about getting off on the wrong subject...but a discussion about possible predators could be important to anyone building a coop...I wish I had known that 1 inch chicken wire will not keep weasels out...or...

    I keep my birds and my dog off of other people's property. I expect them to do the same. I would be mortified if my dog hurt or killed any of my neighbors animals. Truly Mortified!!! I don't get it with some people??? If they know that the dogs are going over to your place...and have already...

    yup!!! That's what they told me! "I was mistaken, it must have been a golden retriever...there are no my lions in the UP...." all this as I stood looking at my golden retriever...she was a big girl! But not nearly as big as this cat I saw....the other issue was that it was able to leap from the...

    They are on their way...it's only a matter of time...just like the mountain lions that don't live around here...Oh! Excuse me! The "Wild Golden Retrievers" that haunt the "Wilderness" around here...at least that's what the Michigan department of Natural Resources told me I saw leap from the...

    Love the dog pictures!! And the cute little guys!!! Wolves are a touchy subject to many people...the for or against. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...it's when those who don't have them living in close proximity, go on and on about how wonderful they are...how great it is to have them...

    Are they wild or light weight turkeys? If so that's right, they can and will fly...wild turkeys perch in trees at night. I'm afraid Molpet is right! You will have to fence the garden if you want to keep the turkeys out...they are very persistent when food is involved...when I had a flock of wild...

    Wolf homestead....I didn't know they had wolves in New Hampshire? Unless it's a play on your name? If you would like some wolves, I have a nice big pack living across from my driveway that I would gladly be rid of....since they have eaten just about every deer within a 30 mile radius....except...

    I might be wrong...but I think they are regular bins with a third of the bottom and two thirds of the end cut out...put the lid back on and set it on the shelf top down.

    Has anyone else noticed the old chicken coops on some old farms...around here the buildings were around 15 by 30 ft...more or less...but one thing that they all have or had...is windows in the south facing wall...lots of windows! And sometimes shutters and removable window awnings, for in the...

    Don't forget to bury a "skirt" of wire around the outside bottom of the run, bring it out about a foot after attaching it to the run....pretty babies! I love Silkies. Oh also bury a wire skirt surround the coop base....or the back of the coop in the run area where you took the picture....this...
