    12 week old silkies

    I've always thought #1 was a cockerel and #3 was a puller but I am just very puzzled on #2. Looks to me like a boy. Bigger than #3 but not bigger than #1.

Fast forward to the middle of June I went and picked up Silkie chicks delivered from Ideal poultry from my post office . The weeks flew by and as they grew bigger i knew i had to get a coop for...

    dog kennel or hardware cloth run.

    dog kennel or hardware cloth run.

    so I can afford one or the other and I don't know which to pick. I know the hardware cloth would be the safest route, but the dog kennel gives much more room.
