EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BullChick]

If I don't get my Rocks into the coop, I will only have a bantam trio, a Pekin trio and a Muscovy. I just don't know what to do once a new run is built on the coop! How will I ever fill the void?!

I've had chicks (and ducks) hatch that didn't walk for days. Don't fret. They have 72 hours of nutrition in the yolk they absorbed.

I do that a lot

Great! I'm not alone!

Morning all........

I have not read the last 10 pages or so,,Because I just don't feel like it,,,or care enough... I am having a "don't give a poop" day...

Just tired of the back and hip pain. I want to be 30,,or 40 or even 50 again....

I put up a poultry net (electric) up yesterday around my baby turkey pen...Not impressed with the netting.

The netting comes with 1/3rd of the poles it needs, It would work great if I was putting it up in a level parking lot with no grass or weeds. I am just not happy with it.

It is impossible to hold tight. I am thinking of taking the poles it comes with out of it and putting up wood post to give it strength and tighten it some.

I am sure I will find a use for it, However, if I am putting up wooden fence posts I might as well put up real wire every 2 inches from the ground up. It is cheaper and faster.

I had thought to use it for a goat or two, once I convince the WWD we need goats....That is taking a tad longer than expected.....

I am not sure it would work for that either. I did buy a huge 4,000,000,000,000,000 billion amp electric fencer to energise the whole thing and chop through the weeds. (I did weed wack under it but hard to get to bare ground..)

We will see, maybe it is better than it looks right now.

What kind of fence is it for poultry fencing?
