Anyone in WV???

[maran man]

I'm in WV...Princeton, and can see the VA line from my house. I've been keeping bees, and now going to give a shot at chickens.

I'm in the design phase of building a chicken tractor. It's looking to be relatively heavy...but nice. I've gathered chicken wire is for chickens, and not predators. Of course we have dogs, and I've seen skunks, fox, oppossum, racoons, black snakes, hawks, and owls.

What kind of wire fence would you recomend? I've read hardware cloth is good (1/2" squares), but would like to use something lighter like fencing with 2" x 3" squares.

How about some sage advice? Thanks.

Yes she does and goats too, I got a dozen from her last year vis USPS and they scrambled them good. I'm picking them up this year so I get a hatch.

Yeah they dont live too far from me. I havent bought anything from them yet

Anyone within 30 miles of Weston have any baby rhode island red roosters (days to a week or 2 old)? Fosters didn't get any roos in I got all my pulletts.

Thanks TravisE, Im having good results hatching out my Mille Fluer Duccle bantams. They are super cool chickens, very friendly. Hows those BLRW chicks doing? I fixed one of mine with bum legs, she hobbles a bit but better than flopping about.

Keep me first on the list for your extras

TravisE, I'm from Princeton and really like BLRW's. I swapped for some eggs on the PP/Swap forum here on BYC and got 6 eggs shipped from up north. However, it was our first time incubating and none of them hatched out of our homemade coolerbator. Anyway, I'm looking for a rooster to help protect my hens that I have and would be interested in one of your BLRW roosters once you figure out what they are, and any hens that you might have left over. Just me know and I can be there in 45 minutes. Thanks!

Hey if anyone is interested I have started a facebook page for my chickens. If you are on that site and have some time it would be great to get some WV support, just search "Nicks Chicks and Fairchance Eggs" and please hit the like button for me.

Cheers
