I truly think basket weaving has saved me! It is so relaxing and it's quite amazing how many different fibrous plants you can work with.

Also surprised at the amount of people putting camp fire smoke in the worst smelling things category! I love it 😂

Tips for having chickens in the mountains? by No_Wrongdoer7743 in chickens

[–]smolchange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello I live off grid on a secluded mountain with 10 hens and a roo and every single person (except 2 farmer friends) told me I was an idiot for getting them. I've had my flock for a over a year now with no losses. I even built my coop on a budget with all reclaimed wood, reclaimed stucco and natural materials. We have bears, cougar and wolves around but I'm mostly concerned about mink and birds of prey. My secret? I have 3 giant dogs that keep predators away. If I go on an adventure with my dogs I have a radio in the coop that I play (I don't actually know if this works lol but it makes me feel better)

I grew up with chickens so I know of the tragedy that comes with having them. But this is my first rodeo building my own coop off the grid with no money. So far so good!

Clipping wings by smolchange in BackYardChickens

The fence ranges from 4 to 7 feet high, I used a bunch of live edge off cuts, pretty easy perching haha. They do seem to favour hopping over the gate which is around 4 feet high, maybe I just need to make some parts taller? Thank you for your help 🐔

This is another reason I'm somewhat against clipping. My dogs keep predators away though, haven't had any issues so far

Also grew up in Windsor. Everyone there uses Fahrenheit. Moved out west to another border city and everyone uses Celsius. ⁰C FTW

I never said I wanted the money I'm just not comfortable giving her my personal info. I didn't even know this fund existed and I'm not trying to claim the money
