Cynthia-

aww

poor Nelda. Sorry to hear she won't make it, but, you're right, there has to be a will, a want to live.

Here's to Maxie

for her to heal up

Cyn I am so sorry about Nelda

I will say a prayer that her passing be quick and does not require you or Tom to help her. I thought for sure it would be Maxie going first.



Kathy - OMG is that not the chicken whho tried to use Mind Control on me? I am sure it

 

[Cetawin]

Ain't she pretty? What a personality! Dels are never short on that, are they?

 

[kathyinmo]

Yup, that is the same picture! Cyn is right, those Dels have such personalities. They are great!

Kathy, if you make it 3 feet deep you cannot reach the back and therefore will have all sorts of trouble "catching" birds in there. I have a 3 foot deep brooder already...my big brooder shed with the two levels. I pretty much have to use a stick or net to try to move them towards the front if they are in the back...or climb halfway in myself. I decided on 2 feet by measuring how far my arm could reach easily.

Make it 3 feet deep at your own risk! LOL

Okay, so let me add this. I like the area provided by my 3 foot deep brooders better. It is a nice squarish area, instead of a long rectangle. They both work fine, but for larger groups I like to put them in the 3 foot deep brooder.

However, if I have to catch them regularly, I put them in the 2 foot deep brooder. My 3 foot deep brooder works fine for my older friendly birds who just need to be locked up temporarily. But for young chicks that will run and squawk and try to get away, it is really hard to catch them.

Thanks, Janelle. I guess it will be a couple more days before I get to this project .... Mike has other plans for a couple days. Preparing for winter .....

LadyHawk, If you would take the dang phone away from your crew my little angels wouldn't be in such mischief. They get all their ideas from yours, because mine started out as perfect angels.

...because mine started out as perfect angels.

Ahem, er <<cough, cough>> Remember, I know where they came from.
