Two quick questions- Where is the best place to buy shade cloth? My dad isn't sure, and what with money being as tight as it is (curse thee, gas and taxes!) we want a good price for about 6 sq. feet. 

Secondly, anyone from the East Tucson area going up to Phoenix any time soon? PuffyCheeks has most generously offered a few baby chicks to make up for the birds I've lost (two this week alone) but seeing as she's up there and I'm down here... sad.png I can chip in for gas, if it helps. 

 

I just checked and Homer has 3 - 4 colors and for a 6 ' x 20' piece they get around $20

Shadecloth usually comes in 6' widths, and is sold by the foot, or from a fabric store by the yard.  You can find it in wider widths, but it is usually more expensive.  Usually about $1.85 or so per foot.

 

There is a kind (aluminet) that is supposed to be super good at keeping things cooler, but I don't know of anywhere to purchase except online, and it is a lot more expensive. 

 

I have some "mutt" started birds you could have.

$20 ? which homer?  Around here it is a bit over $30.

Ok. Homer is Home Depot, right? 

 

 

I'm OK with mutts, but once again, the distance is a problem. he.gif

Fudge.  I was hoping that it was cheaper out your way, or that maybe they had a discontinued package/colour, etc.

Sorry Suzie.  Maybe it was wishful thinking as I need 50' of the stuff...

Where are you at? I'm not sure if this will help but I'm in Tucson and will be going to Phoenix Airport the evening of the 15th. I could go earlier and pick up chicks if you are close to me.

 

Just saw you are in E Tucson. I'm NW but I'm sure we could figure out a pick up place if you don't mind waiting.

I might just PM Sonoran Silkies about a few chicks too !!

I just (almost) finished building my first ever construction project, a grow up pen for my babies that  are too big for the house and was wondering how big of a roost I should use .  How big around and also how high from the ground?  After I install that it will be done!!!
