Hello, I am Mike. I live in Corbin Kentucky. My wife and I have started to homestead on a third acre lot in town. We plan to sell and start a farm eventually, but for now we are using what God blessed us with.


Welcome aboard! Glad to have ya

Sweet. Check out Woods Open Air style coop. Also, the many benefits of building a coop with soil floor instead of standard floor construction. If your coop is going to stay in one place, and you don't plan on moving it, a soil floor provides fantastic option for deep litter bedding. No odor. all you do is add more materials which the birds turn into fantastic compost. You don't have to clean the litter out, unless you are harvesting compost. Of course, what ever building method you employ, you'll need to make it predator proof: including to digging animals. Chicken wire is not pred proof.

@Beekissed is the queen of deep litter method.

@Chic Rustler is the king of all things rabbit.


Not king by any means. But we have eaten ALOT of them. :D
