Fun, fun! May i recommend putting egg shells in blender. A friend told me that they may acquire taste and peck their own eggs. I have 5 hens and save mine up and blend then put in compost. Thanks for sharing
Your chickens look happy for the new custom feature in their home. I know someone who used to purchase a big bag of chicken compost for their garden. 🐔 🐔
They’re really enjoying themselves! This week we’re going to add a section with a metal roof/covering to give them some more shade from rain and sun. 😁
Thank you! We are aware, and while we originally planned to use hardware cloth for this run (our previous run was hardware cloth) we ended up needing to keep cost down this time. The coop (where they sleep) is hardware cloth though. We haven’t had any daytime predator issues so far. Our dogs do a good job. If we have any issues we will replace it with hardware cloth. Thanks for the comment!
Looks good!

Hello fellow homesteader! I just found you today on the Think Media challenge. New subscriber! ❤Way to put the little dinosaurs to work, lol.
Hey there! Thanks for finding me here, I appreciate the support! And yes, they dinosaurs for sure 😆
So cute ngl☺️
Looks like a great little system.
Thank you! I know there are more complex options out there but we like to shoot for as simple as possible - and then upgrade if needed 😆
Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in, not keep predators out. Might want to reinforce with weld wire or hardware cloth.
