I have had that green shade cloth up before and come home to it pulled away in spots and have had my neighbor to the east of us that they saw someone looking in. I just can't wait to find a bigger place where I don't have to worry as much about my pens being close to the property line.

Do you think you could put the cloth on the inside of the pen panels? My chickens don't mess with it.

might be able to...I'll have to see about whether they would mess with it or not. I have some nosey nellies in my flocks that get into everything. Its funny, but sometimes really annoying!

lovely jewel toned eggies!!! I have a couple of girls that lay that dark, but their eggs are matte colored...pretty, but just not the same with that shiny shine on them.

well...made it through another really long work day. I'm feelin it in my back for sure...but with tomorrow off there will be another round of sorting through birds. I just can't do the mass sorting like usual being slowed down, but i will get there. I also have been thinking ahead to this next weekend...i am headin to the HOAGBA sale in Kansas...I am already telling myself I don't need anything...but I'm still going. I will buy my poultry supplies while I'm there to save on all the shipping costs, but other than that...it will have to be something pretty awesome for me to bid on.

I think they are both males. But I could be wrong, has happened before. Chick 1 is definitely male though and I'm sure more will pop by with their opinions. Enjoy them! At this age they are so full of themselves.

I agree, my pullets don't have such pink combs & wattles at that young age.

I second the hunch that they are males....
