    Removing chicks before they are dry in incubator ?

    What do you do with your chickens when they die?

    What a grand idea! I will implement it here in CT. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and do you change it to 2x4 narrow side up in warmer times, or just keep it the same, please?

    I lay down 3 feet of old rusty chain link fencing many, many years ago, and put it a bit under the coop, as far as I could, AND about 3-4 feet out (away) from the coop. I covered it with dirt/straw/wood chips....whatever, and it stopped them for a time, as they kept trying out further and...
