I was a computer pro all my life, and my Dad kept saying...you should be in sales...so when computers forced me out...I became a farmer...and I love it. Who can't sell stuff they grew, or, who can't buy stuff I grew....;-]

My daughter and I sat and watched one from Pip to hatch last night. It was the first time I sat and watch the whole thing. Amazing! The chick zipped once all the way around and then started zipping all the way around again before it got completely around on the second zipping the top came off. So cool to see. Birth is amazing no matter what kind of creature it is.

You got that right! I think that because the chick has to do ALL the work, it's really even more miraculous than live birth.

So this link is not an endorsement of the company, but they have images of the fencing I wanted to mention.

I had this type of fencing around a pool I once owned. Its awesome stuff, and very durable, I think it would even hold up to Chickens. So, with this type of fencing SC, you'd only have to provide the ground 2" x 6" boards with holes pre-cut in them to accept the posts...and tada, you'd be supplying a coop with a run. Either they order the fencing, or you do...No gate required to get into the run, just unclip at one post and bing, you're in. This is what I plan on making my run out of. Some deer fence mesh from Lee Valley to cover the top and you're all set. The fence rolls up easily, the boards get picked up and moved where'ever, and you put some hooks on the outside of the coop to hold all that run stuff while you're moving the coop...

Thanks for that link! I've never seen that product. I've been looking at the shade/barrier products that screen tennis courts as well.

Maybe you got lucky. Mine are just starting to look better. They are horrible from about 4-14 weeks

Well, technically, mine were/are (kept the hen sold the roo-wish I hadn't) silkie/polish cross so maybe that makes a difference.

It would appear that if I want to buy a membership, I have to create another account for "coopedup.net", am I right? I don't want to put my BYC information in there, and even though I am logged on to BYC when I click store, it does not recognize me as a member. Can anyone explain?

I didn't. I just went in the store from the home page clicked the membership and paid with pay pal.

So let me introduce another topic here. Who here caponizes heritage roos they intend to process? What effect does that have on the age at which they can be processed....any?

I haven't done it, though I've studied it. Since the advent of Cornish x broilers it's nearly become a lost art. But there is a very long and well illustrated thread on the topic here on BYC...

Historically, though, you can grow capons as big and fat as you like as they don't toughen up due to hormones.

That's the reason I brought it up...
