my incubator reads 3 degrees different from top to bottom. weird I know and it has a fan.
Should i put the little eggs( silkies ) in the bottom turner or top. I would assume where it is cooler.

Nice score!!!
It won't keep weasels out but it looks very secure for aerial and other ground predators.[/QU

Good evening everyone!! Congrats on the hatches!

My brood momma is still doing a great job. I love that I have NO chicks in my house. My favorite mottled little chick is possibly a girl. I had 7 blue SBs, 2 splash. 1 splash and several of the blues are getting some distinct combs. 1 splash, my mottled blue and a couple of others are missing any sign of a comb. They are only 3 weeks old, so I am not kicking anyone out just yet. But I'm hoping!!

I didn't really want to buy a new chicken coop. I want to someday expand my silkie pen. But, I belong to a farming co-op on facebook. You buy chances on things, and if your number is called you get the item. I bought a few chances on a coop. $20. I won it. So, now I have this coming.

This is much nicer than what my silkies currently have, so I have to figure out how to integrate this with their current coop. Not bad for $20.....

Where are they selling this? I need the fencing.

I got this as a "prize" for a farm Co - OP item. We all bought "chances", and I lucked out. But, I've seen them at Tractor Supply. I basically want it for the fencing as well!
