    Raccoon lock on metal framed run

    So far so good. Many have told me that he sounded like a sick one and something was of about him.

    Raccoon lock on metal framed run

    Yes, this was just a picture I took to show there was no hole underneath. I like your idea though. I do close my lock properly, how come your door is so close to the frame? Mine has a space of two inches. I'll take a picture to show the update.

    Raccoon lock on metal framed run

    So there was one chicken left inside the run...but it wasn't after him...it went into the coop. So I called my husband to hold a wooden piece over the door of the coop while I gathered the last chicken. I threw the chickens into a small shed. Then my husband got out of the run and took a hose...

    Raccoon lock on metal framed run

    I have the general metal runs, but I've covered it with hardware cloth in place of the chicken wire it came with. Today I saw a raccoon inside the run, and all the chickens were outside the run. I'm not sure if I left the run open (broad daylight, 1pm) or the raccoon opened the latch (just a...

    Uncovered run floor covering

    Wow what a difference! I like the mulch, but when it starts getting low, I have started using pelletized pine bedding. If it gets wet, it turns to a Sawdust/sand material, which is really easy to clean up. I have a 10x20 run and added 3 bags of pelletized bedding. Now I have a good mixture of...

    Threw a bale of straw in the run!!

    I'm low key scared of mites, so I don't think I'll keep it in the run for too long.

    Threw a bale of straw in the run!!

    My chickens are going crazy with scratching and pecking. So far they haven’t eaten any of it. It’s still bundled together but I think the next time I go out, it will be all over the run floor. But they are not scared of it, which I initially expected them to be. They are enjoying standing on it...

    Using a sawhorse as a roost in the coop or run

    So they love their new playhouse which is inside the run. I left off one side so it's more like a 3 sided shelter with a roof. Hopefully a good spot to hang during winter. I might get a bale of straw just for this area so they can cozy up...but I'm scared of mites 😫. It isn't an area that will...
