pohnjarker,

Welcome in!!! Lots of good people and interaction on site. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Am sure there are some people on this thread that can guide you in the right direction. Best wishes on the coop and pen. There is a thread called "post your chicken coop here" that is active.
We are very close to each other. Do not know the feed stores in your area, sorry. If you ever get a chance, go check out "What'z Up" recreational fun park. My family & I painted the climbing rock wall there.

pohnjarker, welcome to the group.....As for your dog /chicken pen....I would (if it were me), build something to put the whole thing on , so nothing could dig underneath it and get the chickens....I, too, was going to buy one of those dog kennels for my chickens but just keep in mind , anything ( like raccoons, skunk, or opossum) can dig under it, if it is setting on the ground.....I have learned the hard way, and lost many of my chickens to mostly raccoons, by not having my pen secure enough....If you do put it on the ground, attach hardware cloth all around the outside, attach it right to the bottom of the pen and ALL the way around.....That way the animals can't dig under as the hardware cloth, tears up their feet...They won't dig for very long...Have a friend who built a pen for his wife and he removed a lot of the dirt all around the outside of the pen, wired the hardware cloth to the bottom, then put all the dirt back in place.....It really looks nice.......Well anyway, this was just my suggestion...Hope it helps...Others on here may give you better ideas.....At any rate, enjoy your chickens.....Dexterlady
 
Oh one more thing pohnjarker....Tractor Supply is now carrying Organic poultry feed....At least ours is...It is kind of pricy , $24.95 for 40 lbs....I just paid $29.95 for 50 lbs.....But check with your feed stores and see if any of them have any organic feed....That is all I will use now....Plus my chickens free range......Dexterlady

Can't really help you, we call it a "Tammy bug", one bit our Cairn Terrier on the nose she went ballistic so....we call it a Tammy bug! LOL
I know it is a beetle, but no clue as to they type.

Thank you for addtl info. I do not like killing. So b4 I start smashing them, I would like to know if they are harmful to chickens, gardens or fruit trees.

:confused:
 
Good day to all!! Maybe that is better. :)

Yes, we had a little wind last night. It topped a large oak tree. Dead tree portion snapped and fell right onto new enclosed pen. Did not know I was going to have to make repairs so soon from dead tree top. Tree is approx. 14"-18" @ break, best I can tell right now.

:)
