Thank you! Good way to get some scrap wood used up too. There was more than one instance of fowl language installing the hinges but worth it.

So, so so sorry. =(((((

Love the stuff. Great for keeping li'l baby chicks inside the run and out of the cat's belly, as well as keeping heads on chickens when predators come lurking. Also wonderful for windows as you said! Window exterior (stapled 1/4" hwc to siding then screwed between window frame/siding Window...

Absolutely. From the start. It works great. I still use Sweet PDZ on my roosting tables (see below) and of course straw in the nest boxes, but the whole coop floor is pellets. They can be sprayed lightly with a hose if you want them to soften up a bit without damage. Eventually they break...

That stuff is great for so many things! Other than providing bedding for the goats and chickens, we've got a low spot in our garage- we built a little mini-foothills range (3-4") using the pellet material at the problem area and it acts like a dam. Gets wet, dries itself, waits for the next...

So glad you mentioned this fact of duck life. For a little while we were thinking about ducks ... and for the property we have now, I can't picture what I'd do about this particular issue!

OK! Here are some photos and more detail about a watering system with Uniseals and PVC Ball Valves for draining purposes. This might be more detail than you were looking for, but I figure if someone else sees this and gets an idea, it would be good to have all the info in one place. Good...

I will take some good pictures and post them either later tonight or tomorrow. I'll make sure and quote your post again so it should show up in your email.

On the subject of creating a watering system- Uniseals --- are marvelous. No caulk, no plumber's tape- just use a hole saw to cut the appropriate size, stick the Uniseal through the hole, push the 1/2" or 3/4" PVC pipe through the hole- absolutely wonderful for use on the awkward curve of a...

I do like our Sweeter Heater for the no light aspect - they get used to dark right away instead of having to transition- but it does absolutely make the whole room warm. Also got it with thoughts of using it in the coop for drastic weather changes, just for when it goes to a low of 50 to a low...

Yes!!! We were lucky to find one that would take on the goats, chickens and cats for those rare times we're actually away. Try to always make it easy to take care of your chickens. 30lb hanging feeders, filled before you leave and a multi-gallon easy to fill watering system. Eggs should be...

Awesome! We do sell eggs to help offset the feed bill, treat friends and family here and there, and we donate too. It seems most food pantries are affiliated with the state food bank We were able to donate directly to a food pantry that serves our immediate community. Another good thing to...

... that local food banks and/or food pantries are in desperate need of eggs no matter the size.

Yep. This looks high enough, doesn't it? Well, didn't it? Day 45: Granted there were stepping stones but the point is if there's a way out ... they will find it.
