    How to predator-proof a chain-link gate?

    [WARNING: PICTURE SHOWING BLOOD AND FEATHERS] A bobcat (we're pretty sure) killed 8 of our 12 chickens through a chain-link fence two days ago. (Never had any problems in 3 1/2 years of keeping chickens, but now we've learned the hard way why people use hardware cloth on the run.) It actually...

    Just showing off my coop & run now that it’s coming together the way I want. The whole set-up is actually a (very heavy but still moveable) chicken tractor. 14 feet long by 3 feet wide. The barn-style coop sits on top of the run and is made of extremely durable, insulated, barn-thick siding...

    I live an a good amount of land with three acres fenced, and a smaller backyard right by the house. I’m hoping to extend the height of the backyard fence to use as a chicken run, but I’m trying to figure out the best way to do it. The main thing it needs to do is keep the chickens in, because...

    Run Cover

    I apologize because this questions probably been asked before. What are your thoughts on roof vs netting or wire mesh to cover a run? Part of me wants the shade for them in summer but also it’s Wisconsin and there’s snow load.

    I have a few young guineas that free range during the day and have a coop for nights. They are young, about 4 months old. My chicken run is covered with netting over the top- 2" square nylon netting, I think it was meant to cover fruit trees to keep birds from the fruit. The guineas have...
