    Hardware cloth in sand?

    Help please : ). I am still confused about how to secure a hardware cloth apron/skirt into the sand? All the threads and photos I can find show the apron staked into grass or dirt. If I attach the wire to the bottom of the coop and run frame, do I then just lay the apron unto the sand? What...

    Paper towels in brooder

    Hi. Is there any reason I should not keep using paper towels in my brooder box? I change them 2 times a day. Is there a reason to transition to sand or pine shavings before the chicks go from the brooder box to the coop/run? Thank you.

    Noisette, Coquette and Loulette

    looks like we got a partridge silkie along with our red sex linked and black sex linked chicks. So far so good. Just arrived 5 hours ago; all have eaten and I’ve seen two drink (I did dip each of their beaks in the water per the BYC posts I saw).

    Hardware cloth attached to bottom of coop/run?

    What a helpful and welcoming group of people; thank you all. I’ve attached photos. The area I will place the coop in is 3.8 feet wide by 18 feet long. The coop with run is 2.2 wide by 5.4 long. Ideally I would secure the coop with run and separately also secure the whole sand covered area of 3.8...

    Thank you. I really appreciate your input. I could add more sand into the inside of the coop and run; seems like a funny question but how deep will a chicken dig?

    Hardware cloth attached to bottom of coop/run?

    Thank you. It didn’t seem to add up : ). I have large stones on top of rock hard dirt that I then covered in sand -no soil to stake anything into. So do you think I could unbury and pull the edges of the hardware cloth up to attach them to the frame or attach hardware cloth to the whole bottom...

    Hi all: Newbie. I created a fully enclosed section out of my side yard and filled it with about 8 inches of construction grade sand (or river sand). There are wood gates on either end and walls on both sides. The area is about 4 feet wide by 20 feet long. I place 1/4 hardware cloth under the...

    Hi All: A lifelong dream for this city/suburban girl from French farming roots: We are getting 3 baby chicks tomorrow! One black sex linked (Noisette), one red sex linked (Loulette) and one silkie mystery (praying for a hen: Coquette ; ). They are actually being hand delivered by this really...
