hi guys- anyone near here, the orschlens has chicks again- i left the store before they got there, but they were setting up, they said they'd have americaunas, keets, BO, BR and cornish. I'm saving up for poops...LOL!

Andi, good to see you on, i check in here usually in the evening, and spend time playing catch up, sorry about the the coon attack..

Big Okie, praying for the situation with John, really is heartbreaking and he needs to know it was an accident - no ones fault. but it will take time for him to heal too.

question- has anyone put bark nuggets in their run? heard they do that in england, helps to keep the run drier, and drains well

and i have seen the for the first time the roo dance- the silkie from andi decided today that crowing wasn't impressive enough, and then later saw my BR do it to, maybe he is taking lessons from Squeak the silkie?

Hi All,

I added pics of the framed up Port-A-Hut breeder pen to my coop thread, they are on page #3 here:

All I have left to do is install the chicken wire, add nest boxes, and something else..... O'yea, install a rooster & 4 hens!

Matt

Nothing like random white spots on deep mahogany red.

My pappy always said "You can't trust NO ONE"

I have used the pine bark in some of my smaller pens before. It did work ok but I can't afford to put it everywhere.

Those all look great. Super job.
I would reccomend getting some wire over the top though. Don't learn the hard way like I and many others have.

Bigokie tell John we are thinking of him and his friend's family here to. In no way was it his fault.

Years ago we had a truck up on jackstands doing a brake job on it and had the drivers stripped down getting ready to pull the drums off of it Somehow it fell off of all four stands and they were sitting nice and flat on the floor. When the truck lurched forward the front wheels went just beyond the door and headed down a slope, We got lucky on that one that nobody got hurt. Watching that 8 ton semi rolling down the drive with no wheels on it was quite a sight though.

Haven't trusted jack stands since then.
