Oh yeah, I do. It is a shop light with 300W bulb. I have it mounted to the wall with a 1/4" thick lag hook and feet of the lamp are screwed to the wall. That thing is not coming off without serious force. It is one of the yellow halogen ones from Home Depot.

Definitely DO NOT use sand in a run that gets wet, I speak from experience. Wet sand + poop = cement! And it smells bad too!

ETA. I mean CONCRETE.

I think I'm going to have to take out my "dust bin" full of sand through the winter. That thing's beginning to stink, even though I scoop it with a cat scoop daily. The water splashes up from the bricks around it and soaks it. It's too bad, too, cause the girls love to roost on the edge of it.

Anyone have info on the swap in Centralia/Chehalis in November?

This contains a link to the WFF web site. They are the host club.

Hey everyone, I'm a brand new chicken lover and plan on getting 8 chicks this spring, still researching what kind and reading lots and lots. I accidently found this site and already love it! I live in Sequim, WA (between Port Townsend and Port Angeles). Hope to get involved in this forum and make a bunch of peep friends. (Did I say that right?)

Yep, you said it right.

Welcome! Jump on in. Ask any questions you may have and someone here will probably be able to help you.

Ah, no worries. The Chicken Rustler enjoys rustlin' a few feathers every now an then.

It's all in good fun.

Yeah I get that. There is just A LOT more activity on here than Oregon's thread.

Well, I'm out-a here. I've caught up and I've got babies to go play with. I've been gone/busy most of the day and they've been ignored.

I may be in Winlock the weekend of the Chehalis show, am trying to figure out if I can manage both things.

Winlock!!!! ?? Oh dear me time to lock up!!! Wait maybe I should go there rather than the poultry show.
