    Is 12 to 18 inches wide enough for a chicken tunnel?

    I have about a 65-75 foot stretch of fence and I'm thinking about adding a chicken tunnel along the fence is 12 to 18 inches wide enough?

    Are indoor bird toys safe for chickens?

    Hi! I’m trying to find ways for my closed run silkies to have some enrichment. Some blog posts online say that indoor bird toys are fine, some disagree. Anyone have any experience with this? Thoughts?

    Do proportions matter for same square footage?

    The basic rules of thumb for space per chicken are pretty well established on here, but how much to the proportions of a coop matter? For example, a long narrow 4'x12' coop/run versus a 6'x8' coop/run...or a hypothetical (and kinda ridiculous) 2'x24' coop/run. They all have 48 square feet of...

    New Coop / Run Questions

    Hello Everyone! Two ducks incoming next spring, starting preperations now. I have a few questions! 1. Is 13'x10' big enough of a run for 2 ducks, it would include their 2x6 hutch, and a 4x4 pool, as their 'run' will be their place all day. When we are home they will be free range in the yard...

    Nesting box too high?

    So I recently have been improving my coop since the coop I have was too low to the ground and the chickens try to sleep on top of it every night and I have to manually put them to bed each night.
