I have bought 3 of these Galvanized Metal Trash Cans with Lids from this eBayer and they have come in perfect condition and FAST! 
I keep my chicken feed in them so critters can't get to it easily! Now I can keep my feed in the barn safely! 
Check them out on eBay 1st as they cost less than if I ran to the store.

My chickens love these water cups and I love that I can use a 5 gallon bucket, so they have water for more than just a day and it doesn't easily get tipped over!

Keeping your chickens safe from predator's takes more than flimsy chicken wire. I use this ½ inch hardwire cloth on my coop and run, so fewer critters can get in to harm my chickens.

I am not always around to open and shut the chicken coop door to let the girls in and out, so this Besly automatic door works out great! 
You can set it to open and close by the light or by a set time. It is also solar so no need to have electricity out at my coop.

We built a hoop coop out of cattle panels for my chicken run and here are the clips I used to attach the cattle panel to the 2x4's. They work great and are easy to use!

Here are the hinges and latches I used for the egg doors when I built my chicken coop. 
I have the same latches used on my hoop coop doors.

I have these wooden eggs that put where I want my hens to lay their eggs. If a hen sees an egg, they will tend to lay their eggs in the same spot.

I have 2 different types of solar lights on or near my chicken coop. I like the solar sensor lights, so they only come on when a person or animal sets them off. 
These lights have the solar pad unattached, so you can use them is shaded areas and have the solar panel in the sunny area. 
I think these lights not only help me see when I need to go out there, they also help scare off predator's!

When you have baby chicks, you have to keep them warm until they get real feathers and learn to regulate their body temperature. So I got these clip lights and heat bulbs for my chicken brood box. 
They have worked great!
