    Forsythia In The Run

    A neigbhor is offering me forsythias plants, everything I’ve tried finding online doesn’t exactly say they’re toxic to chickens…. Ideally if not dangerous, they’ll be planted in the chicken run. These flowering shrubs can grow massive which would create a nice hideout for the chickens. Does...

    Covering the run help

    I am looking for the easiest way to cover the run in time for winter. How would I do this with my set up? I will also add plastic around the sides. Everyone thinks i’m nuts for wanting to cover the run.

    Turkey grit in run

    So, Oregon has ALOT of rain and my run is a muddy mess. After hours of research I decided to cover half my run with turkey grit, which is slightly smaller than pea gravel.
