I built a platform, the smaller ones can get under it, but the bigger ones can't. Not sure if it will work for you, but it might.I'm having a heck of a time with my intergration! My rooster is still brutal towards the younger batch. They've been in the coop with a divider for about 10 days now and still cant get along.
Been there, and done that!!! LOLDid I mention I have 21 chicks, not the 14 I was expecting? I may go get that stock tank, if it's still available. My bathroom is starting to smell (despite daily cleaning)....
We worked on the run (sounds like a typical activity this weekend!) all weekend. I didn't have a hammer mishap (ouch, so sorry to hear that) but even with sun screen, I am feeling the burn. We used hardware cloth on the bottom portion with an apron and it turned out really nice. We used chicken wire on the top portion and we decided we hate it! It just looks so messy next to the hardware cloth. We are going to replace it with hardware cloth (need to pick some more up at Stockyards next weekend). The top of our run is a shade cloth which does an amazing job of cooling the area down. The coop is 6x6 and the covered run is 18x15. We also added pine park to the run.
Here is a picture of the girls checking out the run area for the first time. (Ignore that we have not completed all the trim work on the coop). We have been working on this project for 7 weeks and it feels like it will never be done!
does anyone know the right dosage of tetracycline for 1 bird? My california white developed a severe case of bumble foot so she had surgery tonight...there was an infection between 2 of her 4 toes and the stuff was the size of an almond in each! Then the pad of her foot had infection the size of at least 2 1/2 almonds! yuck. It took me 2 hrs to get thru. She's got a heavy dose of neosporin, is wrapped and currently in a rubber maid tub in the bathroom. I just gave her some water tonight and I'll give some scrambled eggs with spinach tomorrow. Up until tonight she was eating, drinking and laying just fine. Hopefully that continues during her week long stay in the house. lol
Been there, and done that!!! LOLThe smell does go away fairly quickly, once they are moved out.

Hello to all the newbies, this thread is hopping!!
OUCH! Glad there wasn't any major damage. I had a run-in with a shovel to the face last summer......Beautiful day, spent most of it working on the coop. Make a note do not pry a nail out of a pallet to close to you face. The nail finally released and the hammer slammed me in the cheek. You know, you really can see stars during the day? Went in for ice and amazingly so far my teeth are still there. War wounds of the chicken coop
