I have an ameraucana that is 1 1/2 yo. She has been doing great until recently. I first noticed some thin shells/broken eggs in the egg box, then I realized it was her eggs. Yesterday, after monitoring her during the day, I noticed that she wasn't moving much, didn't go up in the hen house...
We are building a giant coop and it is time to buy the netting. Some people advised me to use the hardware cloth which is 2.5x more expensive than chicken wire. We are trying to keep the expense to a minimum and the roof will cost a lot too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi All!
We just bought two Bantam Cochins which are now 10 days old, and are getting the starter medicated feed. They are super active and very healthy. We have them in a box for the moment, while we build a coop.
My kids are dying to give them worms from the compost pile but I want to wait...
