I use this netting on my layers run. It is 24x35. I do have to go out every couple of days an shake the leaves off, but the hawks have not figured out how to get in.

I am doing it on bantams and LF. I am doing it at one month so it doesn't hurt the bantams since they are so small, plus the part I am looking for is a little more pronounced. I have been using a B Sal Fav for my baseline on male parts. Knew he was a boy at 3 weeks from feather color sexing...

At 6 weeks it will be difficult to sex accurately. Do you have other Silkie hatched at the same time? how does it compare size wise. My boys are usually bigger than the girls at 6 weeks, but not always. Right now I have a brood of 4 with a momma, looks like one cockerel and three pullets on size...

Lost our best Orp broody to a dog attack last night. My FIL's dog got into the coop before we locked it up. She defended her chicks well, both are alive and fine. Had to put her down though, she was suffering and not getting O2. It was a lapse in judgement on my wife's part, she did not realize...

On the lighting in coop subject. I have a 4W nightlight I leave on 24/7. It to give just enough light for the birds to see, should anything get in. And it is so I can see without disturbing them or needing a flash light. It is not bright enough to affect laying patterns

Here is my Blue pullet. She is gonna be a "Hottie"
