If this is a new rule, it seems a bit silly. Food and water just to transport it home a few miles. Stranger things have happened, i guess.- ChickenWing

Alot of places have permanent sale cages that you have to put your birds in, like at Hillsdale. They've been using the same cages since I was a wee lad, 40+ years ago. I dont think they are gonna sell those with a chicken haha. But I've never heard of it. I dont know what such a rule would...- ChickenWing

You could try putting hardware cloth on the ground 2 feet around the outer perimeter. No predator will try digging from more than 2 feet away and go under. They will try to dig right at the edge of the coop, and hit wire. Maybe you can rig a way to make it fold up for when you need to move...- ChickenWing

Hows that work out...- ChickenWing

Calibrated Thermometer..
It looks like it reads about 0.5 F high at the freezing point, and about 0.5 F low at 194 F. So that would make it about dead on at 112.5 F. At incubating temps around 100 F, it will probably be about 0.09 F high, which is pretty close.- ChickenWing

yeah, it looks like a sugar maple, but they are similar and leaves vary on each tree. Sugar maple tends to have 3 larger lobes on the leaf and 2 smaller ones at the bottom. Norway maples have 5 similar sized lobes. With a picture of the twig with buds I could tell you for sure. Or if there...- ChickenWing
