Absolutely essential. That's what I did, too, except I didn't drill a hole into the garage, I just fed the cord through one of the windows, which I leave cracked year round anyway, to get some fresh air in there. My coop is about 50 feet from the garage, so I got an extra long cord and ran it...

Oh I don't remove it for getting in and out! Once I install it, I don't touch it until springtime when I take the wind blocks down. I've cut the curtain to be the exact size of the door, and then I zip tie it tightly to the HC on the door. It becomes part of the door and moves with it when I...

Another big step done now and I am almost ready for winter! I put clear polycarbonate wind blocks on the run. Leaving the door uncovered for now, because it's not too bad yet and I want to be able to see better. When we start getting real storms, I'll put a clear shower curtain on the door to...

I'm feeling very accomplished and almost ready for winter. I did the big (biennial) coop clean out, and also cleaned out my run for the first time in 4 years. It didn't need cleaning per se, but because I keep periodically adding more material (wood chips, dry leaves, mowed grass etc.) without...

I had to look up mast year, too :oops: Very cool indeed! I have definitely noticed some years the oaks get surrounded by a carpet of acorns. Never gave it much thought. One thing that doesn't add up though is why it would make the leaves any bigger? From what I read, mast year is about producing...

I'm in an urban area and my property is the only one on our block that has any deciduous trees, so there isn't a whole lot of volume to add up... But yeah if you're somewhere more woodsy, I imagine they'd pile up thick.

That's why I only rake once - after all the leaves have fallen, otherwise it's a neverending rinse and repeat :lol:

I still need to put my wind blocks up on the run walls, and thin down the flock for winter. I raise a bunch for meat every year and the time has come. I did my big biennial coop cleanout the other day, replaced the coop's summer screen door with a solid door, and plugged in the heated waterer...
