One of my 2 month old blue andelusion chicks has a swollen red upper eye lid. There is no drainage and she didn't squack when I pressed on it, nor is there any visible parasite. She is the smallest of the 8 chicks; I wonder if she got pecked. Any suggestions? Also, one of my leghorn hens...- nurseronda

Quote: Thanks for the advice. I asked my husband what hardware cloth was and he called it hardwire cloth, and told me the same thing about how it was made. I would be amazed if a dog could get through the dog run fencing, but then again, I was amazed at some creature getting to my little...- nurseronda

One morning around 4am, when it was still dark, I was walking the dog and we started an own on the ground. It was huge. It easily could have carried off my little dog. We have hawks around here that will go after pigeons that are bigger then it is.- nurseronda

Quote: Right. The chicken wire is a secondary containment. I have these bad visions of a coyote digging under the fence to get to the coop, so hardware cloth will be doing the heavy lifting. People I know have been having good luck with chicken wire alone, but I just don't trust it. It can...- nurseronda

Quote: Oh, I am so sorry! I am so, so sorry! That must be devasting!!! I agree with Becky - your coop looks secure, at least secure against larger predators. Are you sure it was a bobcat? I've heard of racoons pulling chickens through fences, but not bobcats. Thank-you everyone! I...- nurseronda

My poor babies! Dessimated! Destroyed, all of them, in one night by a bobcat who managed to pull them through 2 fences to kill them. Everyone of my cute little babies is gone. I'm so sad, so sick, so devestated! :(- nurseronda

The chicks love their new home. Since they outgrew the small dog crate I had them in, I used the dog playpen fencing we used when our little dog was a puppy. I unfolded a large box and attached it so it folded up the sides a ways (to help keep the wood chips in the crate). I use a piece of...- nurseronda

Quote: When mine started laying they would lay anywhere they wanted. Usually directly under the hanging food dispenser . I read on here somewhere about putting golf balls in the nesting box to teach them. That worked really well, but they have become dependant on it. I have tried taking...- nurseronda
