I had some cattle wire 2 x 4 welded wire left from my breeding pens. I used HOG CLIPS to hold it to the plastic. Just drilled a hole and clipped the wire in the hog clip or pen.... Then I bought some rubbermade takealong plastic storage things. They hold 5.2 cups of what ever and I attached them one on each side. I put the bung hole to the SIDE and I am going to use the hole to feed and water through, if it works. I did have to put a wood brace under the feed and water things. Over all pretty easy to make. Hubby used a reciprocating saw to cut the holes. We have use a jig saw but it was slower.

I will get some pictures if anyone wants to see them.

Yes. Pictures please.

Good Morning, Happy Chicken People!

Good morning to you! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

I have someone coming today to pick up my 2 white silkie pullets and some of my chicks. Gotta replenish that swap fund!

I've got two eggs pipped and partially zipped...for two days now. I've had to open the bator and remove the other chicks...and draped both eggs in wet paper towels when I did so. The chicks are still peeping, but progress was not made from last night until this morning. Intervene? Leave them alone? WWBYCD?

I would be checking them out after that much stalling

Ok, I have a real mystery chick for you. This chick game out of an egg I have labelled partridge silkie, its obviously not. Any guesses?

It is cleaned legged. It came from an egg tht looked like a silkies, or a my bantam cochin eggs...

SBEL's from Kraftyladies are hatching!

Received 8 eggs, 6 made it to lockdown, two have hatched, one is zipping and the other three are not doing anything yet. Come on babies hurry up!! I hate waiting! I do have a question though what color are the SBEL chicks? For some reason I was expecting yellow.... These are black. Do all SBEL's grow out to be white with a little black or can they just be any color?
