Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[WhoDatChick]

If you have rocks on your property, that's what we mostly used. We have a lot of rock. Free dog deterrent. I'm not home for a few days or I'd share a picture. Hardware skirt with rocks to anchor it, would work even better.

The hardware cloth on my older coop is rusting away/no longer attached around the bottom in some areas where the skirt bends at the coop… but I guess if something digs it will still be digging on top of the skirt part… I do still believe in having the skirt but just wanted to let everyone know that it does start to rust… even though it is galvanized. So adding rocks or stepping stones would help reinforce it. My first coop is 7 years old and the add on is probably 5ish… it definitely needs maintenance…

Thanks for the advice. I'll pass it onto The Parents and Those Who Decide What Happens With the Coops.

At some point I want to build a palace, but that's probably going to be a year or two.

I love your coop and pen, what a nice space for them!

Thanks! I hate it LOL but it works for the time being. Too small. Especially that coop. But they only spend nights in it so its small size isn't a huge deal.

No shame!

"Adult" utility: mailbox holder. Everyone on the hill thinks this is very cool

Check out the tank treads!

Edit - just saw this - look who the operator is!

Hardware cloth with vinyl coating should take longer to rust than galvanized. I think it's also more expensive though.

I think it's really cute!

I thought it was a bit too expensive also. Highway robbery!

It is what am using along with a electric on the outside of the run.

Of course my gang is barn bound when I am at work and only fully outside when I am home.

You may be able to keep it filed to prevent it from becoming any worse.

Not sure if it’s an inherited thing or not. May want to check this out if you want wee ones. Might want to let the breeder know also.
