Yes, just read it thru...great documentation.....hope she makes it.

That cannot have been fun pulling out, for either of you. Thanks, that's much clearer than when I zoomed in.

Oh yeah....close/lock the pop door and latch the run gate every night. I forgot both last night, but all is well. My setup is pretty secure and I don't have many pred probs<knockwood>, but it always (not that often) makes my heart bump hard when I realize I forgot.

Ditto Dat^^^!!!

Yep, that would work....basically they are end cutters that can cut thru the lock instead of having to get between the band and the leg. I use them all the time, even when they are not too tight, just easier. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/leg-banding-with-zipties

Believe it or not that one was on the first page of this thread...see below. Quote:

Don't think treated wood causes bumblefoot.......staph bacteria in a cut will tho. Which brings to mind another safety issue...any rough wood should be filed and/or sanded down. Tho I noticed when I put down new shavings this fall, there were some rather large and sharp pieces in it.

My birds are confined so pretty easy to keep things 'safe'. But definitely careful with picking up construction fasteners, including the trimmed ends of zipties when banding and fastening. Covering edges of hardware cloth, and other fencing like on grazing frames. Cut wires from fencing...
