    Need a new, improved run. Pics please!

    With tarps or heavy 6mil poly I use thin strapping and screws to fasten it to things, not staples. This will definitely prevent it from getting the wind flapping it around. The strapping runs along the top, bottom and sides of the tarp. Quick and easy to put up an take down.

    Need a new, improved run. Pics please!

    Oooooo yes that is what I want, my run covered! I have windows in my barn made from PVC greenhouse panels, they are not see through due to them having a double cell structure. But they let light in - bright and sunny. I use the same screws one uses on steel roofing with the rubber seal between...

    Did you know that here Maples are considered weed trees? They choke out species like Oak, Beech and Elm when they grow so fast. The only reason people keeps groves of them is for Maple Syrup, around here the Ministry of Environment will burn off growths of these fast growing trees and replant...

    Gigantic leaves? They should be no bigger than you hand. Any bigger and it’s not a true maple.

    I have to keep Flopsy under close watch or some of the young brats try to kill her - literally! She picked a scrap with Rose Monday, and Mr P broke it up and sent Rose packing and then gave Flopsy a peck for good measure. She’s ok with the Mr P harem when they are allowed to roam about in the...

    Run Floor

    I’ll send you some! But it does highlight a really important consideration when building a coop and run. Any extremes in temperature for any area need to be taken into consideration. Snow, ice, rain, heat & humidity, extreme cold, wind. Having a plan on how one will mitigate these issues...
