    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I feel for you. I moved all mine into basement briefly while I reconfigured housing. I had set a rat trap, caught one, then something ate almost the whole dead rat while still in the trap. Cat/raccoon/opossum? Gross and scary. I have deterred opossums that had invaded chimney box by putting...

    Manure shouldn't be as much of a problem as the excavation hobby of many chickens. Suggest securing root area and low areas of tree with hardware cloth. Other threads in BYC suggest everbearing mulberry. Search "Trees/bushes in chicken run".

    Some crazy windstorm here! No power in much of Kitsap, but chickens seemed undisturbed and produced 7/8 eggs! Feel fortunate no trees came down on us or around us. Too bad I spent yesterday raking up cones, branches, other winter debris.

    I know what you mean... Feed store had speckled Sussex....had to overcome strong urge to get a few. Stocked up on supplies so I don't have to see this too often. Any idea how to convince DH we need to move to large property?

    That's a great area. I'm spending most of my time in Mason County where I work. Might be looking to move.

    Here are my two Aussie mixes eating the chickens' scratch off the ground. They aren't interested in bothering hens but will eat an entire egg if it's found lying on the ground.

    Great idea. I like to lay evergreen branches in run, too (see background of your photo). Keeps feet off wet earth a bit.

    My concern with the pellets... would the chickens try to eat them, which would be really bad if they absorbed all the moisture in their systems. I think my birds might just eat some to find out if they're tasty. Your experience?

    How different is DryDen from stove pellets? I buy them at HD and use as bedding under hay with my litter box trained rabbits. Dry Den has zeolites to control ammonia odor but you can buy PDZ by the bag and use as needed.

    I have a small string of tiny Christmas lights strung through coop and run, plugged into a timer. Lights come on at dark, go off at 8 pm. This way I can see out there when I come home, at which point I lock them inside the run. By 7:45 they are roosting and I lower the pop door for safety. Just...
