    evolution of chicken houses and yards over the years

    There isn't a coop per se at our house, although some I've seen at BackyardChickens.com are creative and beautiful, true works of art. So this is just about sharing where our chickens have lived through the years. It's a rural area, no formality! and whatever was here, was used. When...

    EMT Run Design Questions

    Has anyone used EMT Electrical conduit for a run frame? I'm on a budget and will soon be walling in our prefab coop/run into a coop only, raising it off the ground and building a separate run. I had seen PVC used, but I was wondering if EMT would be stronger and more durable in the long run...
