Battening down the Hatches... After an unbelievable, record-breaking heat wave in August, we dropped down to the 40's for a low a few nights ago. We had bought two Dollar General Store greenhouses a couple years ago. They worked great until the zippers busted in both of them. I use the frames...

Thanks Lurky! He didn't have much choice, since he got me into all this! I love being able to actually get in there and move. Dawn

Thanks Wally! Hubby appreciated your pat, too! Dawn

Thanks!!! My avatar is one of our Silver Sebright cockerals. We ended up with 2 boys and 1 pullet, we'll cull one of the boys eventually. Dawn

The whitewash serves 2 purposes...too keep bugs at bay and it also makes any poo on the roosts dry up quicker (personal observation on that! ) I also used the whitewash along our concrete block wall, where there was a major ant freeway. Within 3 days, there isn't an ant to be found along the...

Quote: I actually showed DH both of those links before we started building the run. Thinking about making a couple hoop tractors since I have a few panels left over... Our winters are usually mild but one could probably build a small coop that attaches from the outside, for when winter...

DH and I set the first panel hoop up by ourselves...it wasn't a pretty sight...the hoop was fine but it frazzled us completely! When I got the next section ready, we got smart and called in a set of extra hands. We also should have started at the back end with setting the panels as it was tons...

DH bought me a prefab kids playhouse from a "truckload sale" back in November. I used recycled 1/4" hardware cloth to cover the open windows and to close in our ventilation area... DH did a screen job this summer so we recycled the old screen he brought home and used a section to close...
