we have found that simple chicken wire fence 2-3 ft tall is usually all it takes to keep our birds from roaming to the neighbors horse pasture, but our are larger birds who don't fly much unless being chased. It won't keep anything else out, but works for a simple deterrent.

B:

To add to Fisher's suggestion, I've found that birds will always come to a food/water bowl (maybe placed next to your back door)....then they'll eat an lounge a bit...when they get around to scratching they are near home base and have a lot longer walk to get off your property....my two cents...

How'd it go? Did you get them moved out? I don't know why it takes so long, but we got all of our girls moved into the big coop. They seemed a bit bewildered, but are adjusting and settled quietly throughout the coop. They're not all huddled together, so looks like they're warm enough for now. It was a beautiful day and the rest of the week looks to be even nicer!
Thanks! All seems well. I was so ready to move them to the coop! This is the first time I brooded chicks in Jan (in the house) and not sure I want to do that again. I've always done it in spring or summer and have kept them in the garage. Not big fan of chicks in my basement!

I brooded chicks and ducks in the house my first year. LOL I'll never do that again. I'm still finding food and in the dinning room years later. I start them in the house and then out to the garage they go.

We used to have a lady named Laura in pottstown who had gorgeous lavender and black silkies, I don't think she breeds them anymore but her stock must be around somewhere. If you want, I can reach out to her. If she doesn't know who has her birds now, she might have some Pennsylvania silkie connects. I'm not sure that she's active here anymore, but its worth a try

The truth!

Well Pottstown is about two hours down the road I mean unless she can ship but I just would have rather had them near by

Arg! I have a lot of outside work that I would love to be doing right now, but as of Sunday, I have the flu. Anyone else having an outbreak in their neck of the woods?

Got the very first Silkied Ameraucana egg today. They are more than 8 months old now, I was beginning to wonder if all the ones I was hoping were pullets were really just slow developing cockerels!
