Quote: that was a good one

Quote: If you are concern about the net on the top, it can hold quite a bit of a snow. The net has a 2 in opening, and usually the snow goes right through it, but this winter we had few days of heavy and sticky snow. The net on top "give (or stretch)" a little, but hold the snow very well...

Quote: Alice, my dog, loves to watch the chickens and she never bothers them. There is a net door between her house and the run, but that's only there to keep the chickens in and not the dog out. The "real" door is not yet finish, but when it does it will have hardware wire instead of vinyl...

Quote: I agree with the net over the raised beds, perhaps for full size chickens you should try to use hardware net. My dog does stay there every night (including winter), but here in NC we normally don't have very hard winters and the little enclosed fenced area she has keeps the wind out and...

Quote: Now, you have just gived me some new ideas . Do you have ducks? Do they get along well with chickens? I was actually thinking to add two ducks in the group and make a little "pond" for them, and I know exactly the right spot for it. I am whirring for power the run and I'm bringing a...

Quote: They would if I wouldn't had the raised separations (trees) between the gravel, bark and sand.

Robin'sBrood : GORGEOUS! I may have to take a day trip to Albemarle to see it for myself. Now, I have to ask... where is the chicken poo? All I see in every picture is CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN everything. My chickens' run is full of poo. Do you clean their run? The poo is there but not very...

Quote: The concrete blocks are for me to step on if I need to go inside the raise bed.

Quote: Actually the gravel was not to bad, my husband pick it up with his truck, so there was no delivery fee. I used 2.5 tons and it was $36/tone (we spent about $100 in gravel). I am a stay at home mom who use to have two jobs and a very busy life style. I'm one of those women who starts...

This is my night “chicken guardian“, Alice, 8 years old mix Beagle/Jack Russell. Her house is behind the egg box. She has an electric fence, so this is the area where she only sleeps and eats, during the day she runs around the yard, but usually stays close to the chicken run. The human door...

Quote: Round posts screw in togheter.

Quote: Yes, it is the vinyl poultry fence I have used for the raise beds. It's actually pretty strong. My chickens are all bantams, some of them however are larger bantams (Brahma, Cochins), and the larger one are pretty heavy. A lot of times I see 6 or 7 of them in the same spot trying to...

Quote: That was good

Quote: I mix Ryegrass with Kentucky tall fescue grass. I like the ryegrass because it’s green in the winter, it grows quick, and the chickens love it. I have it in a spot outside the run, where I had set up a quarantine area last year for the new chickens. Accidentally some ryegrass grew there...

Quote: I have 18 hens, 2 roosters and 4 chicks, all bantams, from witch 8 are larger bantams (Brahma, Cochin) and 12 are small (OE). I started with one part, then I bought more chickens and I extended the run, then I bought again more chickens and I extended the run again, isn't that how it...

Quote: It is vinyl netting. It's a deer net with a 2x2 in. opening and it's very strong, it doesn't break. I have used galvanized staple nails to attach it to the wood frame every 4 inches, and it hold the snow surprisingly well. I live in NC, so we don't get any extreme weather here, but this...

Quote: My husband and I did all the work. It's really very basic and easy to do in only few weekends and it was not very expensive. I believe between the wood for the coop, the net, the posts, the nails, the concrete for the posts, the gravel and the pine bark I have spent less than $2,000...
