    Animal welfare and miscellaneous enclosure design topics

    Although many of these posters are well-intentioned, I feel they're kinda clutter'n up me thread. So I made this thread for some of these off-topic discussions that got started in there. Quote: I can tell you two good reasons... 1) Decent animal husbandry 2) MY time, MY money, and...

    High coop entrance that raccoons and rodents can't climb

    Update: This is only an idea I had that gave many concerned people the impression I was going to try it without heeding their advice.
