Someone told me to get a dog kennel thats foldable and it helped so much with the dust and things of that nature but again i have many questions how can i soeak with u i may google and see about a phone number for ur company to speak to u guys at lone star coupes mainly u tony bc ur knowledge is crazy intense and i know if i talk to you u will be able to answer all of the questions quickly
Would u be able to answer my questions please help me i need to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about
Thx for this
A fox took 4 of my chicks and now I have 4 that been ready to go outside but I have keep em in bc the fox had kits and they are now hunting please help me and my babies
How do I go about using one of these when it comes to a all metal coop????
I wish this was still cheap. The parts list ordered from my local Home Depot is just over $100.
Have you ever added Biochar to your bedding ?
Where do you get hemp at ty
where can you buy and bail of hemp? I have only seen small bags that are very expensive/

We’re having an issue with rats living under the coops! Our buildings are on pallets. I wanted to bury 1/2 in hardware cloth a foot down then run an apron 2x3 openings 2 ft out. Is is more secure to bury the apron deeper? We have every predator out here…… dogs, coyotes, weasels, opossums, fishers, rats ……….
Thank you! I am new to keeping chickens and just learning. Hemp it is!
Right? My husband is working on my coop and its not done yet. Great video!
Very informative! Thanks for the info!
thanks for the testing. used hemp in a large pin for 4 weeks inside the house, no smell, I like it a lot but expensive, I only have 3 chickens so my coop is just for sleep and to lay eggs. I sprinkle some diatomaceous earth for animals on the bottom then bending keeps fleas and bugs away. Chicken are so much joy ❤
I use pine shavings in the coop and turn it daily, no smells. I use straw in the run and its an absolute mess. I hate it. Will try hemp. Thanks for the informative video!
easiest method I have seen yet. thx
Thanks so much! This was super helpful.
I never use bedding because my chickens leave the coop at sunrise and return at sunset. I just clean every two weeks.
Not sure that spacing will keep rats out…
Does industrial hemp come in a standard bale size I'm trying to find out what the weight or size of the bale you show in the video.
This is so cool! Thanks for this. New chicken mama.
Tony I thought that voice sounded like you and didn’t know for sure. This is Debra a amc investor. Good chicken video!
Are your plans still available? Your website seems a little wonky and I am not able to get to the plans.
Newbie here. Happy to hear chicks can go outside as early as a week old. Weather has been beautiful and warm. Thanks!
Hi! Great, instructive video 👍 can you use hemp bedding in the run? Mine is partly covered, but not completely… and it often rains
NEVER use sawdust. It can cause respiratory problems in chickens.
What do you think about putting hemp on the bottom with Pune shavings on the top?
😀 Interesting idea !
I disagree with your review of horse pellets. We use them and have virtually NO smell and they dry fairly quickly
Pine shavings can be sold in 3 grades; course, medium and fine. What one would you consider?
Very informative!!
🤣 Not mine...gonna take a lot more than that...coop and yard will have it...coop should be unable to be gained access to but the yard thats another story...and predators oh boy do we have those...you name it its probably here...from a rat to a bear size!!! and all in between😬
How can keep the chicken poop be chicken manure for garden?
How much does this one cost
Just phone you guys but I don’t know if you’re still making videos are you still out there because it looks like it’s two years ago was your latest video
Since trying hemp fibre in my coop I wouldn't use anything else. It's terrific.
Just a reminder that TSC is still sponsoring sodom and gomorrah shows to innocent children
Great information. I appreciate the thoroughness.
I use hay only because it's cheap. Been using it for a year now. I place it in their roosts, and their large run. I use about 7 standard bails per month. No problems, just saying this because of cost issues. It is however dusty and it also does not absord at all as far ass crap goes. But when it's time to be replaced I simply shovel or rake it up and use it in my trees and plants. VERY GOOD VIDEO THOUGH.
Thanks for sharing this. I've lost three ducks to raccoons in the last three weeks, and just built a large enclosure (with roof) out of 16 gauge 2" mesh. I will be adding this apron to supplement the mesh I buried, as I don't want to lose any more ducks.
😢 I'm doing the same and hoping not to ever lose my one pet duck.
Love your cock!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice nest
Nice looking coop
I was beginning to wonder, how many times we'd see you make that same cut....lol Wondering if your company is still in operation. I tried calling once and it went to voicemail, yet I never got a return call. Just wanted to thank you and send pics of my version of The Galveston.
Thank you! will check your site out for sure!
Is the AC powered option included? That’s a key detail I was looking for and you’re the first to mention it. Thanks!
Test next Peat Moss thank you
