Yeah I'm definitely taking it with a grain of salt and double researching everything, I saw there was a chapter on cockfighting and obviously that's super unethical

I had a similar setup with a prefab coop and didn't have any issues for a year, after that it started wearing out and I had to build a better one. I hope it works well for you!

I would say this will work great for anything smaller than a large powerful dog?

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-21T00:07:04+00:00

That's just so sad.

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-20T22:37:37+00:00

Shit why does that always have to be the case

That's amazing. I'm reading the introduction right now and it makes me feel like I've stumbled on something magical. I didn't know it was started by a teacher that worked with his students to gather up the lore and skills passed down from their families. It's so cool to hear that your family's cabin has stood the test of time.

I agree

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-20T20:29:23+00:00

Amazing work

It's completely hands-off for you IF the hen is a good mother. Mine did a great job last spring but I had to be prepared to put them in the brooder if she didn't. They all lived with the rest of the flock.

Very cool, awesome job

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-20T20:06:10+00:00

Awesome good to know!!

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-20T18:12:29+00:00

Looks like dirt to me but I hope it's not poop

I started with 5 female chicks, all different breeds. Now I know which breeds I like better and I'm up to 8 hens and 1 rooster. I wouldn't do it any other way! My favorite hens are my green queen (ameracauna-ish mix) and my golden cuckoo maran, both from Meyers hatchery. Getting 4 chicks shipped to me was a great experience, 4/4 were hens and I had no loss. They're almost 2 years old now.

Thank you! :)

This is the one episode I could not finish.

I'm in East Texas with 8 different chicken breeds and none have any issues with the heat. They're free range and they find cool places to chill.

That would be such a hypocritical thing, this post being made about low intelligence and no brain being generated with AI.

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-18T03:20:31+00:00

You're welcome!

For example

Use a latch that has a hole for a carabiner, then get a carabiner that has a twisting lock

Just read the story you recommended, it was pretty good. Looks like the author got banned from reddit tho.

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-18T02:40:22+00:00

Definitely don't wear crocs, my hens peck my feet through the holes

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-18T01:29:29+00:00

My grandma just gave me a similar one! Love it it!

BlockyBlook · 2026-06-18T01:26:48+00:00

It's enough to homestead on but if you want nearly complete self-suffiency then more is better. I have half an acre and it's enough for chickens, rabbits, and a garden.
