I had to share. I went out to check on my chickens and quail who were sitting on their roost in the run for the night. When I first looked my quail was sitting beside my golden chicken but slowly she maneuvered herself completely under my chickens wing. She likes to hide under them. That is my alpha chicken's wing even! What a cutie.

Awww!!! That's great. My big old BO Kevin used to do that for her much smaller sister, Waldo.

I have a three month old Aloha reject that I've decided not to keep, she's a nice, healthy little pullet, but I don't like her coloring, and I've decided that when I get chicks, I only keep the ones I like the looks of, otherwise I would want to keep them all :D
She's sort of a light partridge color, with a lot of random white specks, and should start being an excellent layer of medium sized, light brown eggs in a month or two. I'm asking $15 for her. If no one here wants her, I'm going to put an ad up on Craig's List, but I wanted to give BYC the first crack.

I might consider that! I just got 6 chicks... Would it be okay to put them together when the chicks are out of the brooder? (Mesa's super-close!)

Yes one can use plastic sheeting, but in that case there would be allot of wind resistance and the first big monsoon or dust devil would likely destroy it with the 1/2 inch PVC frame so a much sturdier frame of say 1-1/2 PVC would be better. We use the thin stuff for the netting and it is on there even though almost invisible because it will flex with the wind and the netting offers little if any wind resistance so it blows right through. Have had a dust devil take a couple lengths apart, but we just snap them back together since we do not glue them. Also the whole setup cost less than 150.00 when we did it.... The netting is amazingly strong and lasts for years even in the AZ sun.

Like having room to stand fully when moving around inside...

How do you anchor your PVC to the ground? Sorry if it's a dumb question... just trying to learn. We do get a lot of wind...

the treadle feeders are working great! the fireman put a lid on the other one and we are off and running. the pullets and ducks that live on one side of the yard already have it figured out, but the 4 ducks in the duck pen are on "the slow side". i guess they will eventually figure it out if they are hungry enough.

i should have some pullets for you in another month or so. thanks again!
