the holes are predrilled and come with the screw connectors. I use these to build my runs and have had Javelina and bob cats bounce off the welded wire attached to the poles and not have had any issues. I watched a full size wild pig, waist high bounce off the pole and it did not move.
I might have some extra fertile egg's over here. They won't be the breed's that you have up there, but you could always hatch them and then sell them up there.Nobody's been laying here lately.In order to do a hatch, I'd have to get some eggs off eBay or someplace, and build another coop. So far, it looks like the 5 chicks from this past summer are 4 pullets and a cockerel. Big Ben and his son have been having early morning conversations (crow-a-thons), so whatever way they end up getting housed, there will need to be at least two separate flocks so the boys don't argue. And Gabriel is turning out to be handsome.
LOL, thanks for the offer, but I'll pass. A friend is looking for some chickens, but she wants young laying pullets only, for free, and doesn't have a coop yet. This is the same one who wanted hatching eggs but doesn't have an incubator. Every so often she reminds me that she needs chickens, and I remind her that she needs a coop before she gets any chickens.
She probably want's you to come over and build her a coop for free too.LOL, thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.

I'll probably do more Leghorn eggs in the spring if I can get my hands on another coop.
LOL, she hasn't asked yet, but this summer she did ask me for free hatching eggs. I told her if she had an incubator, I'd gladly give her some. She said she wanted to borrow my incubator and my brooder box along with the hatching eggs. I told her both were in use, and suggested she pick up some chicks at a feed store, since they're only few dollars apiece. I told her that would be a lot easier and less hassle, and she could pick the breeds she likes best. She said she didn't want to do that, she wanted free chickens. I told her even if she bought or hatched some, she'd still need a coop. Guess I'm just being hard to deal with. *sigh*
I bet that you would have to buy the chick feed too then, because she won't be able to get that for free otherwise.
LOL! Possibly!
Well, maybe you could give her a couple of fertile egg's, and since she is so cheap and won't buy an incubator, maybe she can try this method:LOL! Possibly!
but it sounds like @Geckolady would have to give her neighbor the contraption and her own body heat!
