I’m almost done with my coop just have to finish a few minor things but I made my ramp 39inches long and 45 degrees. Is that ok for silkies or do I need to make it 30 degrees with a longer ramp?
Does anyone know where you can buy egg laying hens on the island or u don’t mind traveling off the island for them. I called Long Island poultry and they only have chocolate orpingtons. I’m looking for lavender and buff orpingtons. I also tried Raleigh's Poultry Farm and they said they haven’t gotten anything in a while. Any other places I can try?
So far I’m level 9 and I haven’t gotten any new weapon. I accidentally choose the water one and I really wanted to fire staff. What is the fire staff called so I can look up how to get it?
So I know I most likely installed the ridge caps slightly wrong with not letting the nails be exposed. I’m a noob that has never done any of this and I built a chicken coop. Now my only concern is that you can see the highest coarse of shingle row with the nails since that is the “thin side” where you nail it in. I was thinking of using roofing sealer on all the nails. Any recommendations I don’t expect this to be perfect but just want to make sure it’s ok? It is a 5x4 chicken coop so I can’t imagine it having to be perfect.
I’ve been playing for about 3 hours and was wondering why the map shows nothing. Where are they located?
I am building a 5x4 chicken coop. I’ve been following plans that did not have me make a birds mouth for the rafter. The also use horizontal blocking in between each rafter. I tested a birds mouth with one of the rafters and it doesn’t sit flush with the roof. The ridge is a 2x4 an my rafters are 2x3 as called for by the plans. Most of the framing is made out of 2x3s. I posted suggestions yesterday and people were recommending the birds mouth. But now seeing it doesn’t sit flush with the ridge is that still best? The last picture is of the plans so you see what I’m working with.
As you can see in the photos I put the screws at a 45 degree angle. Is there any better/correct way or is that the only way to do it? How many screws on left and right side do I need for it to be secure? I’m using 3in deck screws.
