If it can get it head through the hole it can squeeze through. But I'm not sure about a 2x4 hole? I have lost some from being pulled through the wire. Make sure the roost is not to close to the wire. I would leave at least 18 inches.
Hey Casey, glad to see your back with lots of pictures. The pullet is beautiful!!! I am having the same foot problem with some of my mottles. I don't understand either because the parents have good foot color. Awesome birds as always.

Well I guess I'll stop complaining about a little mud in my chicken coops. At least all this rain is keeping the temp down. I hope all your birds make it through the heatwave.

Such beautiful Cochins! I recently bought some Brown reds and a Lemon Blue cockerel. The pullets were laying so I put the eggs under a broody mottled Cochin. I have my first 2 baby brown reds. I have have eggs from the Lemon blue over a brown red pullet in the incubator. Sorry, no pictures yet...
So sorry for you loss. I know how you feel. Two months ago I had to take my wife to the emergency room. I was in a hurry and my Royal palms didn't want go in the coop. When we arrived home at 3 am, they we dead. I think it was a bobcat. That was a really bad night.

I purchased 2 pair of black bantam's last week from a gentleman in Texas. I didn't ask permission to use his name, so I won't. I'm really happy with them and wanted to show them off. He said they are about 6 to 7 months old. They didn't want to cooperated. These are the best two pictures out of...
