    I am out of my depth, too. What if we put hardware cloth on top of the ground for like 2/3 of the run, and bury it in the other 1/3? That way we wouldn't have to dig out the entire run. Could the chickens walk safely on the hardware cloth if it's right on the ground, as long as they had a few...

    My lungs aren't having it

    You've probably already heard this but do you have good quality true HEPA air cleaners in your home? I have lung problems, too, and with the epic levels of dust and irritants in the desert I have several true HEPA cleaners all around the house and they run 24/7.

    This is an interesting idea. I've been mulling it over. Two rows of 8" cinderblocks would = 16" inches of dirt over the hardware cloth. We'd have to raise the entire run up 16" otherwise it would effectively drop the ceiling to 5' and we couldn't stand up in it. The run is made of metal poles...

    They aren't real wood logs, they're manufactured from sawdust and wax and other weird combustible stuff. They add fragrance that's supposed to make them smell like fir or something but it really smells like perfumed burnt coffee grounds. Bleh. They even make manufactured logs that are supposed...

    Scented fireplace logs. 🤮 Bad enough in town but particularly awful when camping.

    Okay, AZ peeps, I need some help. We're building a new (and I hope final) run. There's no separate coop, they'll have open roosts inside the run. We have a huge rock squirrel infestation. They burrow up into our existing runs and pens and steal feed/eggs/chicks/etc. The only solution I've...
