U can build a large run for your chickens from a chain link fence and bury chicken wire under that. Also make sure u have a good thick secure roof to it. Like outdoor shade screen. Also u can make ur coop out of a medal or wood shed and make a few windows or add a small ac /heat unit to keep it...
Im totally thrilled!! This is my first hatch in my new homemade incubator and hatcher and so far its been a big success! I have had all fertile eggs hatching. only 2 quitters out of all 29 eggs 19 in the bator and the 10th chick almost out of its shell. Couldnt be happier. Now my hubbys...
Heres one still in my bator. This ones got some kind of umbilical thing going on. Not sure what to do about it. Also have 3 more working there way into the world.
So this am i had 3 pipped... now i have 1 black lavender cross orpington hatched and 6 pipped total excited to see what i have by morning!!:ya

Cool thats a good hatch for the first batch. Sorry about the second :( i just checked on my eggs and got 2 pipped!! Whoot whoot we will see how things progress for the day
So just curious since im seeing alot of people with hatched chickens. Did u set them early for the new years day hatch or are they hatching early? I set my chicken eggs on december 11th. So they should be hatched on new years isnt that what we were supposed to do? Just confused. So today is day...
Yes just set them on the screen a towel can get wet and increase the humidity to much. Or u can set them in an egg carton with the bottom of the egg slots cut out for air flow
Yah my dogs i have now are good with the chickens and ducks. I have a rottweiler puppy right now thats great with them too. I used shade screen over the roof of the chicken run so the hawks and horned owls cant see in so there safe now. Excited about my first hatch with the new flocks eggs

Totally understand u there!! I had 2 lavender orps that were killed by a bird or owl then my whole flock of 18 that was just about to start to lay any day my dog ripped through the fence and killed them all as well as my 3 ducks in another pen. When i found him a new home another dog broke in...
Mine just started laying a couple months ago october i think so it just depends once they really start laying then im expecting to get better eggs in the winter but for now im not getting much unless i have added light. So once i move the roo and my orpington breeders into the other coop this...
