    Hi all! New to chickens and starting to plan my permanent run for my 12 BSL pullets. My run will be long and skinny : 21’x5’ and built along the outer wall of our barn (the coop is a room inside the barn). My question is… does it really need to tall enough for me to walk in it? I know it...

    How high should I put this?

    My chickens are used to the gravity feeder waterers and I bought one of these (see attachment). I have it in the coop which they are still getting used to. I'm not sure how high to hang it. I haven't seen them use it so I'm not sure if its high enough. I think I have it about maybe 18 inches...

    I have 3 Jersey Giant pullets. We're building the new coop for them, 6 other regular size chicks and 5 exhausting regular size hens. (so in total 3 JG & 11 regular size) My question is about the roosts. How much roost spacing do I need for the giants? If I go 3-4 rows high to accommodate the...

    Hen/rooster height?

    We just got 8 chicks a month and a half ago, 3 roosters and 5 hens (ones a silkie but I have no clue how to sex a silk and the rest wyandotte/silkie mixes). They're so young but the roosters are almost as big and tall as my adult rooster! So my question is, how big and tall do wyandotte/silkie...

    How High

    I have 27 assorted chicks including Leghorns, Dominiques, and others that are 4 weeks old now. My coop is not ready and they are outgrowing the brooder. I want to let them out during the day, how high will my fence need to be? As I understand they are now at the max for the brooder, and am...

    Chicken Run Height

    Hi! We live in Scottsdale, AZ and will need to protect our Chickens coop from rats, hawks, coyotes, and bobcats. We plan to run Mesh Wire around our coop, use motion activated security lights, and a motion activated rain bird to spray water. I think we have that part covered. However, I'd...

    Fence height

    Our chicken area is secure, the chickens don't get out (I put a net over it). However, the neighbours also have chickens, they fly over the 5 foot wall I made and get eaten by my dogs. According to local by laws, I have to pay a fine, which I find most unfair. Anyway, I am going to build a fence...

    Ducklings like heights?

    Hey all I have 4 (5) day old rouen ducklings. They like to climb up onto my chest and are very curious about my face. I wonder if this is normal? Also they seem to like heights like my shoulder which makes me nervous that they could fall and get hurt. Anyone else's fowl do this?

    Landing Zone?

    In my coop I have perches at roughly 3', 4', and 5 1/2' (had one at over 8' but it's been removed). While the girls don't hesitate to jump from the 4' perch to the floor suddly a couple don't want to jump from the 5 1/2' perch to the floor. And they refuse to use the intermediate perches as a...
