I've seen things like that done to block excess winter drafts.

My hoop run has no base. It's held in place only by the T-posts. I used cattle panel for (bottom section of) the other walls as well. The door frame is just 1x4's sandwiching the cattle panel framing. They're up off the ground to reduce rotting. In some ways, cattle panel is very flexible...

I don't know ... but I'm curious to hear what others say!

beautiful birds.

:welcome Looking forward to seeing the progress!

Robins eat my raspberries. I'd rather have snakes.

:welcome Glad to have you with us. This thread is very old. Most people haven't been around in about 10 years. Those that are already built their coops.

This is all i could find: (and it doesn't strike me as secure) https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/90403_inside_run.jpg https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/the-coop-de-grass.48524/ I wonder if you could setup something like electric fencing around gaps in the opening to keep...

After seeing Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ where a bird pecked out an eye of one of the criminals on the cross, I would never let a bird near my face. I don't let my children get their faces close to the chickens either. Overkill, I'm sure. But, I also don't see a benefit to opening...

I have a small coop and use all Sweet PDZ as the flooring. It's like a full size poop board. Zero concerns in the coop ... and lots of advantages. I've never put it in the run, as that's all wood chips.... not sure how much you would need in the run to be effective. I almost never have flies...

I had to look up Polyface: Interestingly enough, Mercola just had a post today attached for your convenience): Diverse Agriculture Benefits People and the Environment at the Same Time

What's your long-term plan for the chickens? It'll be plenty big for a small flock in their younger days. (think weeks to months) If you are raising them for meat, their days are numbered anyway and it would be fine. If you are into long-term eggs, you'll need more space. If your long-term...

I used assorted sizes of wood to frame out a box between the two and wrapped it in hardware cloth.

Can you post pictures of your setup?

This post may help as it at least has more information: To me, it sounds like very few people would find that a practical solution for their tractoring needs. ... at least it sounds very predator flimsy.

Old post. OP hasn't been around in over 11 years. I believe the site has undergone some platform changes since then. I doubt anything more will be recoverable.

This member hasn't been on in almost 8 years. I doubt you'll get pictures. Take a look at post #53 above to get some good ideas. (Parts are listed in the video in post 54. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/best-wheels-for-chicken-tractor-where-to-look.608390/post-27589952 I'm going to...

The most effective apron is 1/2" hardware cloth. The blocks shown just tell the predator to 'start digging here.' Of course, if you like blocks and have them on hand, you can use them, but then you should have the 1/2" hardware cloth apron starting there and extending another apx 2'.
