Dixie Chicks

[vehve]

Sam, my gosh they're big. Are they still peeping? Are they now 7-8 weeks? Ours are 4 weeks today, not completely feathered yet but getting there.

7 weeks on Thursday yes still peeping... My first roo peeped until 4 months.

Come to think of it, ours didn't start with the proper chicken sounds before 3-4 months either. We might try to remove the partition in the weekend, see how they interact with the grown ups. Virpi isn't going to be much use in defending the chicks, but Töyhtis will hopefully whoop some butts.

You might be surprised my little bantam the only banta and lowest ranking hen was a force to be reckoned with

soo umm anyone have any suggestions for a live wire on the fence?

Jem, I have an electric fence charger. I had it for my horses fence and kept it when they left. I have some 4 ft tall electro-net fencing by Premier that I use each year for my meat birds....ot to keep them in, they wouldn't get out of a 2 ft fence, but to protect them from things that would like to eat them. What is the live wire for? Are you wanting to put a single strand low hot wire on an existing fence as a deterrent?

Woah, did they ever grow fast. Time flies.

ya loki keeps hopping the fence and wanting to lay down with the chickens he tore my netting up all to heck

so I thought a single hot wire in the area he wants to jump will keep him deterred he doesnt do it except when I am not around...probly only take one lil zap and he wouldnt go near it again he's a mega chicken with furr
