Luke admitted still unknown, quarantined tons tests high fever still. Poor kiddo
If u go to the breeder pens thread you can see the used all thin plywood and the doors are all warped and unfitted lol. The layout I like and hight, it's what I was trying to explain to chad about using block for support for skid made and have a covered space under pens as part of run. But they didn't use the best materials for weight on their pen, and doors should be made better, layout love. Sorry rambling haven't slept for some time now.

Sending positivity to your little man!! I hate when the kiddos get sick! :-(

Just checking in! had my mother in law here for a few days, my dad brought her back home. LOL! Thanks Goodness!!!

Still have not heard anything from the insurance company about sending out anyone to assess my damages. I really want my coop!!

Hey Missy. Yeah. Scheduling issues at Hsbg. 

Talked to dr. Hanshaw's office and they are looking to reschedule. With it being early in the morning and the snow over night the roads probably won't be the best for travel. 

Darn, I was looking forward to being there. Don't care if we have the snow, truck is 4x4.

Crossing my fingers for Luke to get better asap, and Mom to get some rest.

Hi All,
I have a knob question that I think I know the answer too, and Im sure has been discussed. Just looking for some feedback from people in the area. I live near Valley Forge and have 5 hens. They have a small coop , 4'x4' and a a nice size run with a roof, 10' x 8'.
Should I be worried about the birds not going in at night? Predators are not a big concern. The entire set up is pretty well secured.
It's been down in the 30's at night and the birds just roost out in the run...even through the hurricane. They go in and out of the coop all day, but haven't spent a night in there. I'm sure Im over thinking it, but any advice is appreciated.

Lucas update~ TRHospital ~ Lucas has an Infection with Helicobacter pylori which is burning his intestines and also giving him gastritis and alot of stomach pain. It is contagous via sneezing saliva and through "poop". We are still waiting several other tests and another series of antibotics are being started, waiting to hear from the Doc again. Head nurse said she thinks they are keeping him another night, his fever has come down some too! Thanks everyone for caring about little man Luke. <3 poor kiddo! : (

I always put my birds in at night. One way to do it is to turn a light on pn the coop just at twilight. Birds go to the light. They should troop up the ramp and into the coop. After a week of so of this, they should learn to put themselves to bed at night. If you don't have electricity to the coop, Use something like one of those "Boston Lanterns" on TV until they get the idea. You can turn the light off after they bed themselves down.
Best,
Karen in Ligonier

Do you have roosts inside the coop? What breed are they?

Hoping Luke is feeling better and he comes home soon!

Sad to miss the Course tomorrow, hope everyone keeps their heat and power in this storm. Already snowing here, passed a 3 car accident on the way home tonight, and am heading out to hockey practice in about an hour... YIKES!!
