I have my coop here now about 3 months, I see fox regularly, about 200 yds away in the cut. Hardware cloth buried around the run and automatic door on coop. I have not noticed any attempts on the coop, nor have I ever seen them closer than the cut. I plan on putting up the game cams around the...

Very Nice Coop

Nym- Thanks for the link, appreciate it. Jim

Back in 2018 I became interested in Metal Detecting and bought me this super-duper model. I was pretty addicted to older properties, cause that's where the "good" stuff is. You hit the nail on the head, because I dug up so much trash and junk from those old homesites I was amazed, then found out...

I appreciate you, thanks for your insight. Thats the best answer I heard in a long time. I am going to make the best I can with what I can obtain, just like everything else in the world we live in. Wishing you the Best.

Amen Folly I am with you and going thru it now with the PFOS/PFAS.

Hi Ridgerunner, thanks for the response and I appreciate it. In the grand scheme of things, it all compounds is how I look at it and I try to reduce the contaminants I put in my body, and I intend to eat a whole lot of eggs :>) I get, at least it will be self inflicted contamination, lol. I...

I have construction sand in my run, even though the run is covered, when it rains, the sand grabs the moisture. (my mistake for putting part of the run in a swale) I do get a slight odor at times and remove droppings daily from sand in run and poop boards in the coop. I assume you do not have a...

I really appreciate the time and effort put into this very good article. Many Thanks!!

Very Nice, Love the Redman signage.

I use construction sand in the run and scoop it daily with a 1/4-inch mesh scooper. In the coop I only scrape the poop board below the roosts, and not the pine shavings on the floor. I do the same with the manure as you.

Thank you all for your help. Definitely gave me a new perspective.

Run Solid Roof- Absolutely Has a 2-inch overhang on sides, not much but I thought sufficient, so I only use 2 panels on roof. Not sure where I will keep the feed yet, and I do plan on heating the water in the colder months. Not sure on water heater type, but I do have a metal waterer. I like...
