    If you want to grow grass for the chickens in the new run, make a box any size, maybe 2ft x 4ft, or any size you want, and cover the top with chicken wire ( put a brace in the middle to support their weight, and plant grass seed, or whatever kind of seed you want, (that they will eat) inside the box. As it grows the chickens will stand on the wire and will peck at it, but not tear up the ground! You might plant a few of them along one side of the run and have them grow at different times to always have greenery available! ( plant thicker than normal) Just a suggestion! God Bless!

      @@floridagirl386 If you make a box (with no bottom)from 2x4's any size, (maybe 2ft on the short sides and 4ft on the long sides), cover it with chicken wire,( you might need to put a 2ft piece of 2x4 in the middle of the box to support the weight of the chickens, so you will have (3) - 2ft pieces and (2) - 4ft pieces). After you make the box, (with nk bottom)place it in the run and sprinkle grass seed on the ground under the chicken wire. When it grows, it will poke through the wire and the chickens will pick at the grass without scratching up the ground. Maybe this is a little clearer. God Bless!

    I feel it's a good budget friendly idea. I have a small shed for the future chickens indoor coop they can go in. I might consider this into my budget. I have already a lot of rocks on my land, because its an island. I appreciate these budget friendly ideas. I'm currently working on my garden though. I figured if I start now while there's snow, then less chance of seeing snakes and other creepy crawling critters for the heavy duty part of my garden. Like clearing things out of the way. Have a good day!

    Just a suggestion... you could have used the full height of the lumber to create a walk-in chicken coop AND grown some perennial plants like grapes all around to provide food for the family and shade for your feathered friends! 😄 Of course, it would have required a bit more cross bars for support.

Its held up well after several months, and I plan to expand it again next month because I'm going to be doubling my flock. Cost me less than $100 as well, 'cause I caught the chicken wire on sale.

      @@TeoPhotographybyDustin I have some of these on my property that the previous owners put in. The ones that have been loose (we have clay soil and lots of rain - KY) have not been concreted in. The ones that were concreted in are just as sturdy as when we purchased the property five years ago! They have held up against Great Danes jumping against them, horses rubbing on them, goats bouncing off of fence, and a trouble-loving Holstein. So, this should work for at least five years if done right, even with heavier applications! I have read of people using these on some horse forums - gravel in the bottom, concrete, and bonus points if you treat a little extra with some motor oil or the like! I know your comment was from a year ago, but perhaps this will help anyone else with the same question that reads this thread!

    Lumber prices have changed a lot! That 4x4x8 that you were comparing at $17.38 is now $9.27 (in my area at least) and the landscape is $4.68. Would you still use the timbers over the 4x4 post if you're only saving $4.59 each?

      You must be shopping at Lowes! I'm in Virginia and on 2.7.2023 the 4x4x8 treated post at Lowes is exactly $9.27 😆 I just bought 4 of them for the main posts for our chicken coop I'm in the process of building. The landscape timbers are cheaper, but I have found that they are not as well pressure treated as the dimensional 4x4's and will rot out within 5 years when burried. Modern pressure treated posts will last about 20 years. Long gone are the days when pressure treated posts would last 50+ years when burried! Thanks, EPA for that.

    How often do you have to work inside that new co-op?
    If you need to work there regularly, maybe you need to adjust the hight so that you don‘t ruin your back! 😅
    I only work in a position which is comfy for my back.

    Did you bury your fence or do you just use the rock as a deterrent?

    • @SimonSaysDIY

      Just the rock. Thanks! 😁

    a simpler solution would be to not cut down every single shrub or bush because you want a clean yard. my grandparentss kept chicken and rarely a hawk managed to catch one because their yard wasn't a golf course.

    As a way of deterring pests I'm planting citrus trees around chicken pen like hedges and just keeping them prune down to about 3 ft tall

    May I know which type hardware cloth do you used for building the chicken run?

    • @RPG-oh1yf
      @RPG-oh1yf ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's 1/2" x 1/2" galvanized steel hardware cloth. Available at most hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot, Rural King, Tractor Supply, etc.

    Hi my dears, you forgot to say how you decided how far apart to put the posts, and how far apart they are. Is there any way you could add that info?

    Racoons can move those rocks. Big mistake not digging up floor first and laying a mesh floor then reburying it. Connect mesh to walls

    Why so deep for the post hole? Standard fence holes is 18”

    • @SimonSaysDIY
      @SimonSaysDIY  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I had some extra length so I figured it would hold a bit better. The ground was fairly soft so it was easy to go a few more inches. :)
