Thanks Meg! I almost bought one of those.

I'll be sure to try your method when the peepers show up!

Hey!!!

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS AD!!! This is just nutszoid.

Everyone knows that to tell the sex of chicks you have to hold the chickens by what would be the scruff of their neck and see if their legs dangle. Separate out the leg curlers, boys one and all. Then put the pullet chicks upside down (laying on their back) in the palm of your hand. If they struggle, put them with the other boys. Then take the remaining pullet chicks and (one at a time) put them in a brooder with two bowls of water. if they drink from the left one they are boys, pull 'em out.


This method is GUARANTEED to be effective on all pullets ordered from large hatcheries that sex their pullet chicks. Of course there is a small margin for error. Say +/-50%.

Thanks!

I'm very visual so I appreciate the pics and sizes. I've always used a cardboard box and creatively added on as they grew but I think the tote is the way to go this time. I think I saw a little tutorial one time on making the lid for one. Off to find it.

Do you need a lid? I was just going to leave it uncovered in the tub...

That'll work for a little while then they'll start getting feathers and they'll be all over the bathroom!

ChooksChick,
sorry to hear about your Grampa! A sad occasion to come and visit. Hope your Grama is going to be ok!

I'll be too busy to come to you but you are welcome to come and visit me. I am about 45 minutes west of Sun City (that is "close" for AZ conditions) on Fridays and weekends. I have PLENTY of distractions for you. Just PM or email.

That sounds promising! If I get a rental, and I think I'll have to for sanity, I'll come visit! You have camelids!! Maybe I could sneak one onto the plane home....

After a few weeks mine started doing some low level jumping around. Before I knew it someone was sitting on the edge of my 18" tall box.

I used some leftover pieces of hardware cloth and folded the edges over.

This isn't the one I remember seeing before but it's pretty much the same. I hope the link goes to the right page (otherwise, it's on pg 2).

I LOVE miming forums!

They are almost as good as haiku forums!
