    Squirrel digging out chicken feeder

    A couple of squirrels are messing with our chicken feeders. I have two 2 feet tall 4" pipe feeders and saw squirrels going into the coop once in a while. I saw they would just eat some foods but they completely dug out all the foods from both feeders during last few days. Chicken foods are all...

    Laying less eggs

    I have 4 one year old Easter eggers in California. They started laying eggs in January and laid 3-4 eggs per day. But I got average 2 eggs recently and got only one egg today. No food or environment have changed and they were free ranging in the backyard. Any idea/suggestions?

    Should I dump chicken food after excessive hot days?

    We had extremely hot days this week max 115 degrees. I left 2 PVC feeders with 2-3 pounds of starter under the heat. Should I replace the food?

    Door design

    I am about to finish my first coop. Floor and left side panel are ready to be installed. I want to put a large door to 4'x4' front side for chicken access and cleaning but I can't come up with a good design. Any suggestions?

    Do I need a windows in my coop?

    I got 4 EE chicks 3 weeks ago and I am building my first chicken coop. Ventilation was done under the roof using 1/2" hardware cloth. Would that be enough for California weather or do I still need to add a window to the coop? The floor is 3x4' and I am going to put a sheet of 5/8" plywood...
