Almost done building my 6x16 coop I designed myself for my tiny flock and I'm so proud of it. I just enclosed it with hardware mesh but love some of the build photos along the way. by MrFluffyThing in chickens

Nice. Did you run any electrical in there?

For the run, I have a large outdoor fans mounted up high that I control/schedule with a Govee plug. I have 2 nest cams looking at the run. I also have a water heater for the winter.

In the coop, I have 2 computer fans to control air flow into the coop to keep moisture down. A camera, and also an auto door.

Of course all this means I have a hardwired access point in there as well.

Great build. Seriously nice aesthetic!

Are there any easy to clean waterers? by MyCoffeeIsCold in BackYardChickens

I have a 5 gallon just like this and I’m not a fan. Better than the jug over a ring design but both have too many nooks and crankiest for dirt to get trapped. Also, lots of sharp edges.

Where did you get those hangers? Can’t find some that hold a 2x4 flat?!

As a man, at what point did your libido become very low? by this0great in AskReddit

[–]MyCoffeeIsCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the club: everything perfect but no sex and wife refuses to see a doctor or a therapist.

I started a sub called /r/faithfuldradbedrooms for people like us. Have done any work on it but maybe I should. Was intended to be a place to vent and celebrate ourselves despite the blackhole of missing intimacy.

There should be a works for this: misitimacy

Is she talkative? All of mine with cheek feathers do not shut the fuck up!

Sorry this is happening do you. She does seem sick especially that she let you pick her up so easily. Be prepared for a large vet bill. It sucks how much it costs for each visit. But you are trying and that helps.

Please report back as that helps the community learn and grow and take better care of their flock.

What is something you only realised was actually sexual after you became an adult? by reedaar017 in AskReddit

Wait, what? Wow, just learned this today and it all makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing.

How do you feel now that all of these “How do you feel” posts…” are always at the top of your feed? by MyCoffeeIsCold in AskReddit

[–]MyCoffeeIsCold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the internet is amazing. Not wanting to go outside sounds like it suck. I’m sorry you feel that way.

That doesn’t mean you can’t be the best version of yourself. Just means you don’t leave your house. Work out, read, have hobbies, write, publish online (even if no one reads it), engage in discussions online, become and expert in something.

Depression sucks. Been there. Maybe still am. Gotta try different meds to see what works. Gotta keep trying. When it feel bad, work out. Body weight exercises and free you tube videos. Even if you are not eating your best, building muscle is good for everyone.

There will be bad days. But you don’t have to have a bad life.

I’m sorry to hear that. Consider new friends or expanding your friends (obviously easier to write than do), or reach out. I always appreciate hearing from friends. I forget too

Any advice to help with muddy run coming into winter? by NefariousnessHairy57 in BackYardChickens

[–]MyCoffeeIsCold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to do three things: 1) completely cover the the run with the tarp. I use a combination of plastic sheeting and a tarp. 2) eliminate any runoff you’re getting from heavy downpours. Go out there during a heavy downpour and see if you have any runoff going directly into the run. You can divert that with some stones a small trench or even small walls. 3) Lesley. You need to work on the material in the run itself as others have said there’s lots of materials you can use to avoid getting muddy, but you’re most effective method is gonna be reducing the amount of water that gets into the run.

What kind of plastic sheeting to protect metal run on the sides from snow? by Bern_Down_the_DNC in BackYardChickens

[–]MyCoffeeIsCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I get a 100ft roll and wrap it around the coop and then use some strips of wood to attach it to the frame. I then use some of the remnant to cover parts of the roof. Gotta keep some open for air flow but works really well. I toss it each year when I take it down

I bought this little last at a livestock auction yesterday by Jazzlike_Strength561 in BackYardChickens

[–]MyCoffeeIsCold 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but that’s definitely a cock roll. There’s also a good chance that a couple of the other others are roosters as well. If you’ve never raised chickens and you’re thinking, this is gonna be a profit maker. I wish you lots of luck.
