    Lead on soil

    Hi, We recently tested our eggs for lead and found highly elevated levels. We then tested our soil, which also showed high lead content. Although our house was repainted about 8 years ago with lead-free paint, we believe the contamination is from old lead paint that has persisted in the soil...

    Movable chicken coop run skirting?

    Hi, so I am building a temporary movable chicken run that will marry up to the movable coop (very well built and predator proof). This is what I have so far. I have 1 side and some to find some scrap hardware cloth to cover with and add some side support boards. It’s light weight (1x2) and...

    Bielfelder Door Size

    We've got a Run Chicken auto door (Model E50) that's been performing great, so we snagged another for the second coop we're tinkering with. Considering adding Bielfelders to our crew; they can get sizable. Quick question: is our 10” x 8” door size good for this breed? Appreciate the info!

    Looking for extra run

    Hi all. I started a thread and we are receiving loads of help for the many issues with our well-built but stupidly designed supposedly Amish-built coop by HenHouse collection. I’m starting this thread so it’s all about the run room in the winter. We haven’t decided if we should free range or...

    Chicken House Door vs. Run Chicken Door Buyer Beware

    Plenty of threads on here about the Run Chicken door which appears to actually work and be worthwhile. I accidentally bought a "Chicken House Door" from this website wondertelaripoff and it is a piece of junk. Didn't work out of the box. I realize after looking at the website that they are using...
