Just finished reading and skimming over the 228 pages of your thread. Wow is all I can say you've been thru a lot and just keep going because I'd love to see more ideas. I'm in Kentucky just starting out I thought that my adventure is bad going. Put it this way since June I have lost almost 50 chicks/chickens to other animals, being trampled, and disease outbreak. Just lost my 2 Rex rabbits that I spent top dollar on to coccidiosis. And my Cornish hen was found dead this morning because she flipped on her back because it's a cornish thing. But seeing you go thru all this is helping keep my head up and if you could pm me and help me out with building and anything else that'd be awesome! Also when I'm ready to start Pheasants I'm coming to you!
