    Yup...he's a roo!

    Crowing this morning...it is official...we have a roo! Now we need to seperate him and a few girls we have 8 Brahmas and 7 Orppingtons ( he's an Orp) any suggestions on how to seperate them? The second coop can house 4-6 birds. If we leave 2-3 Orp will the Brahmas pick on them? Thanks!

    telling them apart?

    Seventeen nine week old chicks and the only one we can tell apart is "Jeffry" (my son named him) and that is because his comb is big and red. Leg bands maybe? I joked about a dot of nail polish with a corresponding chart...but I don't have 17 different colors!

    worried respitory?!

    I just read that they sneeze after giving treats if they eat fast from hitting their beaks. As they had just finished a piece of fish...I work at a fish fry once a week so bring home the left overs which they love...so what do u think should I just treat the eye and watch everyone else for sneezing?

    Chain Link Dog kennels

    Oops I meant in my post that I forgot to mention that we were going to attach chicken wire around the bottom of our kennel to keep the babies in. I've read that they can fit through the chainlink. For the predator proofing we are using hardware cloth. Sorry about the confusion still new to posting!

    sod trays

    Awesome idea! Looks like I need to go buy more seeds to share with the chicks! Off topic a little but does anyone randomely put shovel fulls of compost in their runs for the girls to get at? Unfortunately we can't free range but I am an avid composter.
