Do you have a tarp and or a couple of old pieces of plywood that you could make into a sort of box/coop and stick a board across in it as a roost?
Or @Fire Ant Farm has some mobile coops with an easy set up "coop/roost" end.

I have some strips of metal roofing leftover from a project, I was going to put that on the top and use a tarp too, just in case water decides to get through somehow.

question on vent holes, When do you remove the plugs?

When you buy the 'bator! Stick them where you'll never find them again!

Any ideas as to how I can help it? Or do you think that it's not long for this world...like the vet said? Thanks

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me. I have been redirected here from the baby chick pictures forum as I have a problem with one of my latest hatchings. This poor little thing doesn't seem to be able to stand up at all. I took it to the vet this morning and they've said it is a developmental problem. It can sit up for so long, but then it will fall over and roll on to its back, unable to get up. Also it's head keeps lolling to one side. It can't stand up at all, doesn't seem to have the strength in its legs. I thought maybe it could be some form of splay leg? Or maybe even a vitamin deficiency? Any advise/help would be great. One the bottom picture it's the one that is sat funny with its legs out in front of it...as you probably will have already guessed. Thanks!

My opinion is possible wry neck. Give it Polyvitasol without iron.

Day ten, or don't use them at all.

I have the run lined with the 1/4" wire so I'm not too concerned about anything getting in.  They stay in it all day every day and haven't had any issues.  I also leave the feed in it at night and nothing has even tried to get in it.  Not saying it isn't possible, but I am just not super worried.    Will they adjust to that at night? Should I maybe leave them out there a few nights before I go out of town to see how they do?  Right now, if I don't put them up before dark they stand at the door and act in a panic. 

My other option is to try to integrate them in the next couple days and so far integration has been unsuccessful.

They will get used to it. By all means, leave them out there tonight.

I'm not an expert at all...... Try what MC said, it sure can't hurt.
