Silkie thread!

You can tape them like the pic above or take a hair tie and tie a string in the middle of it. Slip its legs through the holes and tie a little extra string closer to the legs to tighten if needed. This is what I did with my chick and it worked very well, but the tape method I heard also works too.

Tammylr I'm so happy to hear it is working. I wish I knew about this method, the last batch of chicks we incubated we had one fat chick with what I know now is spraddle leg. He probably got it because of how fat he was, he was so cute and chubby We didn't know what to do so we ended up losing him, but next time something like that happens I know what to try

So, I recerly moved my two birds outside, from inside. Still working out the coop, and testing. Hard wth the rain, but I think V and Zazzels like it. (Zazzels is the silkie.)

OH MY GOODNESS IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?!

is that grey box that dome cat litter box?! saw one of those at a yardsale last summer and picked it up for $3! I was going to use it for my broody hatches this summer. I love how inside it has that little wall going into the box area on the side, and the ramp coming down! I cant wait to use it!!!

Yep! It's really a green cat littler dome. Haha. I was goin to throw it out, then stopped, and decided it would be better for the chickens. Haha. Yes! And they love it. The middle pic is of them inside, and I just used hamster bedding, which cost $2 from WalMart. Haha. I do things kinda cheap, I know. The cage/carrier is what try lived in when in the house, so slowly intruding them to their new home.
That is a great deal! And yeah, just make sure the hole on top has a cover for the rain not to get in. Just still
Open to vent.

ohhhh! mine is grey! I loved it just because of the vent it had! once I bought it I instantly started coming up with ideas on how to keep the vent from getting water in it. I think im going to create some sort of wood cover for it. I just love it and love the idea!

I get the huge $5 bag of pine shavings from my local TSC
