Our backyard, about 1.5 acres of our 8 is fenced in. Wife and I went out to dinner, and when we came home, I was just about to let our 3 dogs out, but Leah was at the back door going nuts. I looked out, a two porkies were walking around the coop, inside the fenced in area. Thank God I didn't...

Gave away my 14 gals today. Was sad to see them go. Wife and I are having some marital issues. Hopefully we can work things out, but getting rid of the gals was one less thing I'll have to think about. I'll try selling the coops, and have stopped the construction of what was going to...

My EE roo has been great. Until today. He attacked my wife drawing blood in a couple spots. I grabbed him by the legs and placed him on his back. He didn't much care for that fought me hard. Finally pinned him down and he calmed down after a few minutes. As soon as I released him, he...

Little devils have almost 2 of my 8 acres fenced in to roam. Where do they decide the best place to dust bathe? Yep next to the house.

This coop is being built with 90% reclaimed or repurposed materials. Coop will be 12x12, will have a fenced off "hospital" and feed/storage inside. The floor structure was made out of dividers from stalls out of a sheep farm, screwed to 4x4 PT skids. Now, before anyone says "it would be...

This morning I had a coyote that wouldn't leave. I have 2 acres of my 8 fenced in, and my coops are inside that fence. My three dogs keep most predators at bay. This morning a coyote would move off as my dogs were going ballistic patrolling the fence. Started to rain and the dogs wanted back in...

Client is having some old buildings demolished on a property they recently purchased. Some of the roofs have been collapsed for many years. I needed some windows for a new coop. Got 3 bottom crank out windows. I was thinking about getting as much siding as possible, but decided against it...

I've got 4 out of 14 hens that have this patch of feathers missing. Could it be my roo being a little aggressive with these gals?

Later in the day yesterday, my chickens were going nuts and ran back to their respective coops. My rooster Everett was the only one outside the coops, loudly voicing is opinion on whatever spooked them. Shortly after dark, I let my dog out and Leah started going nuts. Flashlight didn't show...

Former sheep farm that had these dividers between the stalls. The shortest are just shy of 6'. Tallest are just over 10', they are 3' wide. I was planning on building a new coop and run this summer, but lumber prices were stupid, so I put it off till spring. Good thing. Also have my pick of...

Cleaning out a former sheep farm. Came across this piece of equipment. It looks like it clamps onto the critter. Hate to scrap it if it was something worth selling.

7-8 months old. Previous owner got them from TSC. The feathered feet on the second is confusing me.

Had a decent sized woodchuck think the clover was better tasting inside the fence than outside. This is her 8th or ninth woody in two yrs. She's also has a few coons and opossums to her resume. Chased a red fox back over the fence a few weeks ago that tried to sneak over for a chicken dinner...

Gals were out free ranging and giving me the stink eye. Didn't feel like going up to the shop for scratch grains. Had one of those jugs of pork rinds from Sam's club. Tossed out a few and holy crap. Let the games begin. Lol. The ladies were challenging the dogs for the goods, lol. Before...

So couple weeks ago I posted about a fox scaling my fence trying for a chicken dinner. Thankfully, my dogs foiled that attempt. I ended up eliminating red shortly after. Fast forward a couple days. I was walking around the coop and startled a fox laying next to the fence that's only 1' from one...

Raining lightly here. It's been 3 days since I've let the gals out do to the weather. They were more than happy to put up with the light rain. Wife and I are sitting inside watching TV in our recliners, with the AC on. Our dogs started going ballistic. I look out back and a red fox is just...

That as soon as the temps spike into the upper 80's +, my lady's go on strike.

I've got 3 broody hens in the same coop. Two are in the same nest box. I'm finding eggs from the other 4 hens on the floor and the poop boards. I keep removing them from the nest box, and they feed for a few minutes, then back into the nest boxes they go. It's been 4 days. I know I'll break...

Clients house has been getting these stains every spring for 3 yrs. I clean them.off, and gone until the following spring. I thought bat, but when up on the ladder, there is no spot for a bat to get into. Believe me, I've dealt with bats, and know how small of a sliver they need to hide. Just...
