    Opinions on Predator-Proofing

    Hi, all! I have a pre-fab coop from Tractor Supply that I plan on using until I’m able to complete my long-term goal of building my own coop and run. Now that it’s built and painted, the next step is predator-proofing. Originally I wanted to bury hardware cloth to deter digging predators...

    Super proud of this…

    Hey all! I bought a coop and run “house” from Amazon and finally got it together. I now understand why people just build their own! Ha. We ended up needing to alter it and do major reinforcement to it. But I am super proud of how it turned out! (I am a first time chicken mom to four 8 week olds.)

    Over-Sized Isn't Just For Sweaters

    Everyone who has existed on earth long enough to experience more than a single fashion cycle has seen them come in and out of style, oversized sweaters with hems that droop to mid-thigh, sleeves that hang past the fingertips, and enough room in the body to hide a couple fugitive cats in there...

    Prefab coops that (mostly) don't suck under $1000

    I'll eventually build something awesome, but can't right now for various reasons. Realistically it may be a year or two before I build a big permanent coop, I would love some recommendations on decent prefab coops under $1k. Here are some criteria I'm looking for: Coop+run big enough for 4...

    Watering Cups VS. Nipples - new and older chicks

    Hi everyone, I’d love your thoughts on poultry water nipple VS. cups. We have five 7 week old chicks that recently moved out to their new coop/run. We also have five 1 week old chicks that are still in their brooder for now. We’re about to start setting up their food/water in the run this week...

    Toxic Plants in Run?

    I am converting an old landscaped area of my yard to a large chicken run. I am looking for information on if some of the plants that are there are toxic to chickens. I have found the answer for a few of them, but I am struggling with Creeping Jenny. I think is because several plants have this...

    Coyotes on the Rise

    Hey all, a "brief" backstory. I'm from Canada, specifically Ontario. My area is relatively urban, with small wooded areas and large fields nearby. So I do not have to worry about a lot of predators besides Turkey Vultures and Racoons (All of which I have taken proper measures for). However...

    Portable run with a stationary coop?

    Preparing a home for seven adults chickens. I have a small yard in a neighborhood. We have coyotes, bobcats, and the standard neighborhood critters. I have a decent coop coming, but if I attach their run to it the space will be very limited. What I want to do is have a portable run that I can...

    I live in North Carolina, the Steamy Southeast of the USA where from June through early September we frequently see 95-95 weather -- 95F and 95% humidity -- and summer nighttime lows may not dip below 70F for weeks. Most chicken-keeping advice is aimed at people in temperate areas with...
