    Tractor Supply 18 chicken coop - how to seal the bare wood? Plus a few other ???

    Before you do any modification, please be aware that it can only hold 6 chickens maximum and not 18, the ventilation will need to be increased drastically and the wood used will unfortunately deteriorate in 3 years, even with sealer since it's very cheap grade wood.

    Ship date was today, Monday, and was notified by USPS of an arrival date by Saturday 9 pm

    Chick tracking is slower than the chicks themselves, they'll likely be there tomorrow. Usps is just providing an estimate , no need to get upset.

    (I was wrong!!)Pretty disgusted with Murray McMurray Hatchery

    Unfortunately, it's complicated and completely opposite for chickens. 80% you're going to get poorly bred, diseased birds from your average backyard "breeder".
