My babies are growing up! Should start seeing some crest development soon :love
 
Firstly hello everyone how are things
Secondly I am starting to feel better been blasting my throat with half water and half peroxide in a waterpik and it’s been working.
Finally I have been thinking about modifying my coop. I want to experiment with raising my chickens door up about three feet from the ground and not closing it at night. Two reasons one is the birds that are big enough to get out can reach it and the ones that aren’t can play in the protection of the run. What do y’all think and has anyone ever tried it

So the run is secure? I worry about weasles now that hubby saw one, and my run is chain link so i close the pop doors at night.
Glad you are feeling better Sam.
 
I vote no Sammy, unless your run is seriously built like Fort Knox.
I guess you have to weigh the consequences.
What is the purpose?
Is it a time saving measure?
Would it be permanent?

How long would it take you to start from scratch and rebuild your entire flock?
And what would the cost of rebuilding be?

Help me understand by giving me a reason.

I live in a regular neighborhood and there’s been all kinds of wildlife activity just the past few weeks due to land clearing. Another dang neighborhood they had to squeeze in, just because, is being built behind the houses on the street behind me.

God forbid there be a halfdozen acres of trees somewhere in this city just minding their own business, making oxygen for us to breathe.

These trees were good neighbors too. They weren’t threatening to fall on anyone’s homes. They weren’t bothering a soul.
Now they’re all gone except for three “grand specimens” they kept at what will be the entrance.

I’ve seem 3 opossum and two different foxes in about a weeks time.

I feel sorry for them being chased out of their habitat, but they are looking a little desperate. Their world has changed.

I’m reminded that these animals are very resilient and adaptable to urban dwelling and that they were there all along, probably no more than 1/10 of a mile from my coop as the crow flies, I just didn’t see them, because all their needs were being met in their little woodland world.
