***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Do you guys have any suggestions for fence that can be built over an area where I can't use fenceposts? I have a lot of sandstone in that area and can't drive in a tpost.

hubs poured a concrete curb and set the fence in the concrete, we have too much rock to put in posts

We were able to feed Minnie a total of 8 cups of fresh momma milk with a syringe today. She could not get up on her own, but systems are working. She did do a lot of creeping to change positions during the day.

Hi guys, not sure if there is still anyone here from way back or if I am remembered here. Anyway, my sis in law is looking for any poultry auctions down around Chickasha. Thanks Tina

Weld triangular legs to the posts

Rocks or logs can be used for weights to combat the wind

Got a pool or tank to give it more weightless body for muscle building kinda like physical therapy or would that be too stressful?

I was trying to figure out how to make concrete work, but couldn't figure out the ground clearance on it. How did you get it close enough to the ground?

What about a "bell shaped" mold, something hollow and bigger on the bottom that could be cut in two, put your post w/ fencing in the mold secure the mold (maybe duct tape) and pour allow to set and use it on the next one. (a flower pot maybe could be used as mold, a larger one and the right size) just brainstorming, not sure if it would work or not.

Her fever broke yesterday. I was afraid a water tank would be too cold for her little body. She doesn't have much meat on her bones yet.

Glad the fever broke, hopefully that means she is on the road to recover w/ supportive care and chicken love.

what hubs did is set 2 2 x 4 about 4 inches apart, pour concrete in it, set the fence in, it sets in an hour, then it needs 3-5 days to cure,



it has held up well, even with all the rains-
