    How to attach welded wire

    Yeah, i think this is going to be the only way. I really wanted it to be in line with the outside of the wall, just for neatness, but that corner trim piece really mucks that up.

    How to attach welded wire

    So i basically want the fence to come straight at me from this corner, in plane with the wall that goes away from it. I thought about this too, since i have access to hammer drills and such but it would only have support at the bottom, and the concrete pad is really old and thin. When i put...

    How to attach welded wire

    Just finished building my coop and have staked out my run area. This led me to a dilemma i have never been able to adequately solve. How to attach a welded wire fence to the metal sided coop? The coop has the outside corner pieces so it would be really difficult to lag screw a post since there...

    Bobwhite basics

    2 sqft per bird is going to be a ridiculous amount of space (i have another open stall that would be about 70 sqft, but would rather not use it in case I get goats again). Is this necessary even if I plan on putting the whole lot in the freezer after 4 months or so? I might keep a pair or two if...

    Bobwhite basics

    I am soon (a few weeks) going to be the overwhelmed recipient of 40-60 bobwhite quail chicks. I have been putting the basics together, mainly brooding equipment, but still understand very little about the finer points of raising quail. I am a build it yourself, strong so it lasts kind of...

    East TN Free auracauna x RIR rooster

    Two years old and he is a proven flock defender on multiple occasions, even lost his tail defending the girls from a loose dog. We put the flock in a run because of these attacks but we have three roosters now and a small flock of 10 hens. We range as much as we can while we are present, but...

    Chicks/Juveniles wanted in East Tennessee

    Looking to buy 6-8 chicks or juveniles. Any large/medium egg laying breed would be acceptable. Missed the chicks at TSC and local feed stores, as we weren't ready to add to our flock. Would also be interested in 4-5 guinea keets (definitely keets, not full grown). We live in Jefferson County.

    Duck injury. Penicillin?

    Denna just had her final checkup today. Her new feathers are growing in great. The hole from the injury has closed up and is barely noticeable. Found our first egg since the attack today. Thanks again for the support everyone.

    Duck injury. Penicillin?

    No more unwanted guests, I was VERY thorough. I check twice a day and haven't found another one.

    Duck injury. Penicillin?

    Denna has begun the road of recovery. She has recovered her spunkiness and her appetite is back, she has been drinking about a liter of water every day as well. I took a picture of her injury as it is recovering nicely compared to what it was. On the right side is the pencil sized hole from the...

    Separating your injured birds

    Got a former dog house free from a neighbor. Needs a floor built onto it, nesting boxes, doors, windows and a run, but it definitely covers most of the construction issues. Will have to pick up some pallets to build a floor. I have never had a solid floor coop, always used 1"x1" welded wire...

    Separating your injured birds

    As often as I seem to have sick/injured birds (couple of times a year), I am thinking of building a small separated coop/run. I range my flock with my goats in a 2-3 acre pasture, so whatever I build *MUST* be sturdy enough to withstand goats. Has anyone built something like this? I have nearly...

    Duck injury. Penicillin?

    Thanks everyone, I have done the best i can for now. Thanks for all of the drug info casportpony. Giving the injection was a lot more difficult than with a chicken, is there an easier way to give the IM injection for ducks that I am missing? I gave it in the breast, as that is where the most...
