    New chicks hatched today... what should we do now?

    Hello everyone - we would love some advice. Today, our new chicks were born - their mama has been sitting on 11 eggs for three weeks and this morning I noticed at least 3 little heads poking out from underneath her.

    Hi There - We live with Coyote, Raccoon, Mink, Rats, Hawk and Eagles... I added a couple of pictures of our run - Each fence panel is made from 3 2x4's and then a series of 5/8"x3.5" cedar fence boards and then covered with 1/2" hardware cloth. Each fence panel is then connected to a 4x4 to...
