Do any of you use electrified poultry fence? How could I not have known about this?! The cost comes out to the same as 4' chain link, I've been using mainly 5' chain link and that horrible 5' welded wire fencing all this time. This plasic electrified fencing would be a lifesaver! With the added advantage it would keep other critters out. There's so many different ways to use it plus it's easily moveable. I'm definitely using this next.
I only had 4 Silkies hatch from the shipped eggs, 2 had the vaulted skull and 1 of those was dead this morning. These were a lot better "quality" than my 10 hatchery Silkies but the hatchery Silkies are certainly stronger and more solid. The 7 mixes from my eggs are doing wonderful. I hope i don't lose any more tiny Silkies from those shipped eggs. Started out with 29 eggs and only have 3 chicks to show for it, not good odds. They're certainly adorable though!!
