Hello

and Welcome To BYC! Nice looking coop! There are some more examples in the Feeder/Waterer part of the Coops section of treadle feeders etc. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/homemade-chicken-feeder-waterer-designs-pictures

With the hives/ itchiness, you might want to take a really close look at your birds and be sure they don't have mites, some people are allergic to them and some will bite people.

I will watch for mites, that was one of my first thoughts, but i have only touched 2 of them, the rest havent let me yet, they came from the farm so it could be possable. The other day i was gathering weeds, i also touched some of the birds, i dont know what got me itchy and hives as ive never had them, then the next day i did the same and was itchy and full of hives on my arms again, then yesterday i didnt touch the weeds and touched the chickens a bit and didn't notice anything, today also so it might be that one weeds i touched. Im going out in a bit and will pick up the one that i have been petting because she is squatting and getting ready to lay her first egg soon and check her vents and under arms and see if she has mites and check the others if i can.
 
Second day my dog tried to lunge at them because they spooked him, but now he seems alright with them for now. My dog is a 12 year old, 3 legged, Lab x Akita x Shepard, been on 3 legs since he was 11 months and this is his first time with chickens and seems to be on a scavenger hunt for turds lol.
How do you stop your dog from eating chicken turds lol.

Most chickens do not get it so good and you coop and run looks to be very secure ..

And I am sure your 3 legged dog is going to have some of the best friends ever ..

I have pride in doing stuff so, my belief is do it right or dont do it at all, so i went all out like usual for a almost zero money and made the best place i could for them and i think i did a fantastic job and think they will have the time of thier life, well for how little that is for hybrids.
