We were in your camp a couple years ago, and even free ranged the chickens. But due to our remote location, the coyotes, feral dogs, coons and weasels changed that. We have foiled all the preds to date but don't trust the weasels, especially mink. They have gone on killing sprees at two of our...

We got the girls used to only coming and going through the little trap door for a couple weeks before installation. They adjusted just fine. The unit is so quiet it barely rates a murmer from the flock when closing at night. We set the timer for darkness to make sure all were in before the door...

potato chip: "How have you pegged down the wire tunnel?" The herb mesh is held down with these "U" shaped metal pins called sod staples or erosion blanket staples. We use them for all kinds of stuff. They also work great to anchor the bottom strand of the poultry mesh to the ground to keep...

Great thread! I check in every night now. It seems we are constantly evolving our coop and run. Some of the things that have worked to make things easier for us and the flock: I added 4 removable for cleaning 2x3 roosing bars at 12" x 12" intervals. You could use 2x4's with larger breeds. We...
