It's just a chicken coop, chickens don't care if it's level, but Gary is going extra, as usual, and I love to see it. Reek is behaving in the boys flock with his brothers and cousin so far. Thanks for giving him a chance, happy to have him.

Y’all should hit up a military surplus store (if available) and get some of the camo netting we used to provide cover for our vehicles and tents. It’s heavy but it’s breathable and will still allow air and rain to pass through. Just a suggestion! Looks great!

My father used to build stalls for the Elementary School fairs when I was a kid and his design would work great for animal coops. Build the walls and instead of connecting all four walls together use door hinges to secure them. If you want to move them just pull the hinge pins and separate the walls & roof for easy movement. When relocated just put the pins back in. Also when you frame the walls fill the cavities with saw dust or straw (old farmers trick) and sheath the inside with thin panels like Masonite to keep the animals cool in the summer and warm it the winter. Every little bit helps.

Hello guy's! I live in Ohio and I raise Buckeye chicken's. They are an awesome breed. They do great in the winter and summer. My rooster weighed over 7 pounds the last time we weighed him. He is very protective over his hens. Interact with the roosters, they can get mean.

get a small jar (I prefer plastic) and a wax ring for a toilet, a new one. get a ring without a flange and then pack the wax into the jar. push your screws into the wax about an inch and the wax will heat up and act as a lubricant to make driving the screws easier.

I learned this summer that if you get a canopy a tarp or umbrella with silver lining on the inside the heat from the sun does not come through. We had a canopy up on the beach and it was hot as hades under it my wife went to Walmart and got a umbrella so we didn’t have to put the big canopy up every day last week at the beach and she got a blue umbrella and on the underside was a silver or grey lining and it was atleast 20 degrees cooler under the umbrella versus the canopy with no lining! The lining served as a reflector.
