    Inconspicuous fence

    I want to get my chickens out of their run as much as possible, but need to keep them out of the neighbors. I’ve heard of a wobbly fence but can’t find one. I’m thinking fabric netting would be easier to put up and take down than chicken wire. Any thoughts/suggestions? them in

    I think those freeze up too. Once winter camping I lost all my light!

    Automatic door recommendation

    I live in Maine and have concern over freezing batteries. What is the best automatic coop door for my situation? I need it to be reliable and would prefer to use battery or solar.

    Purina® Start & Grow® Medicated

    I have 8 week old chicks and can find the feed they have eaten since born. I can’t find Purina® Start & Grow® Medicated. What else is recommended? Or does anyone know where I can order ? Amazon was ridiculously expensive

    New chicks and brooder! Newbie alert!

    Lost one last night but something was wrong with her when she arrived. The other look fine. Just pressed up on Heater at night. I reduced the size of the cardboard brooder dramatically and put a cardboard over the cozy coop heater. I can’t get another type of heating plate until next Friday...

    New chicks and brooder! Newbie alert!

    Mypetchicken sold me the brooder kit with this heater. I called them and they told me it’s for chicks. Hoping they are ok. The ambient temp in the garage is usually around 35-40f. I have a webcam on them. Pictured below. Looks like they will spend the night like this.

    New chicks and brooder! Newbie alert!

    Chicks arrived. Here’s the set up! Worried about the heater but I was told it works. All look ok? They are in unheated garage.

    Cardboard brooder in ingested garage.

    I set up horse mats for the floor and put down some cardboard and then the pine shavings. I’ll use the “cozy coop heater” to keep them warm. I’ll also put a live webcam so I can monitor them.

    So unheated garage is ok?

    Cardboard brooder in ingested garage.

    I have a cardboard brooder from my pet chicken. Can I put that in my detached unheated garage on asphalt floor with a cozy coop heater. I’ll put cardboard in the floor and wood shavings. Will that work? I’ll leave a light in for them as well. It’s predator proof as well.
