    Coops in wet, temperate climates? Bedding?

    I live in Washington State, not far from Puget Sound. Our microclimate tends to be a bit warmer and drier in the summer and colder and wetter in the winter than most of western WA, but overall temps are moderate and winters are mostly chilly and damp. My coop floor is concrete pavers dug in a...

    Duck water placement? How far from food? Help

    Do ducks need water next to their food or can their food be inside and their water outside next to the door? I just don't want the inside to be soaked and possible rotting from all the water.

    Swampy Louisiana problems... ponding water on coop floor

    Improving Run Drainage by adding stone, sand and gravel?

    So, we have been free-ranging for the past year or so, but due to a stealth fox using our lawn as its own personal drive-thru this spring, we recently built an enclosed run. However (and yes, I realized we should have started with this, but too late now), I need to add drainage. Our property...

    Can my Cochin get wet in extreme heat?

    I have 3 bantam Cochins and I live in Texas where it gets over 90 degrees in the summer. I've read they are not supposed to get wet but I also read that chickens like to play in water. Besides the Cochins I have 2 gold sexlinks and 1 unidentified hen but she's regular size (not bantam). So my...
