Another Reason to Build a Full-Height Coop/Run

I'm in the ER waiting room with a gash in my scalp, awaiting stitches and a tetanus shot courtesy of a hook in the outdoor brooder.

I was checking for stray eggs after seeing one of yesterday's possible culprits in a corner, and managed to stand up just a little too far.

Yikes! I hope you feel better! I'm working on increasing the height of my run for this exact reason

We just recently raised our roof. No banging head anymore

I hate it when that happens! Soon you won't have to worry about it.

Just an ordinary cuphook, holding up the heat lamp in this photo. I didn't take the hook out when I took the lamp out because I figured I'd use it again.
