Anyone near Oakland have a 5'-ish length of chicken wire or hardware cloth I could buy? I need to make a top for the brooder this weekend and I *really* don't want to buy a $70 roll of chicken wire at Home Depot. I'm open to other ideas and advice, too.

If you do not get something PM me I can cut off a length off my roll and you can have it its 3' wide roll.

That would be great. I'll let you know. THANKS!

I use 1.5 teaspoons for 5-7 days, then 1/3 teaspoon for 7 days. That is the recommended amount according to the FDA and mfg for a severe outbreak.

Thank you!

The little Lavender Orp that I found weak & laying on it's back last night is still alive this morning, I guess force feeding it some probiotics helped! Going to the store some time today to get electrolytes.

That's great news!

another option is to call up a few stucco companies nearby. they often have "mistake" rolls where the machine doesn't connect the wire correctly in small sections. I usually get 150' roll for $30-35. It has sections that need to be cut out but I bet I still get 135' of perfect chicken wire.

Good idea! Thank you!

I'm tempted, lol, but I have about 50 young roos to catch and put in the sale pen. I usually just walk past the pens of sick birds there, but I had a very weak moment today. Poor thing is very sick and probably won't live, so no need to find hubby for her. The only positive thing is her poop looks 100% normal, so I doubt she has an infection or coccidiosis. Have given her about 25ml of fluids, dextrose, some B12 and a multi vitamin.

Sigh... Was at the feed store today and found a very ill OEGB that was covered in mites! Of course I couldn't leave her there to die, so I brought her home.

You are a good person Kathy! Good Luck with her! She is a lucky bird.
