I'll look again next time I go shopping. Maybe they'll restock their shelves.![]()
My dominant rooster just attacked my daughter! I didn't think silkies did that, wow. she's SO upset about it. It really scared her. her leg is all scratched up and everything![]()
Super! I like it! We did this with our stanndard coop just built off of our potting shed. I like the door, looks just like what we do to make our gates.
My hubby built the coop mostly from pallets we got for free and the enclosure around it we built next to the storage shed. He will be finishing up putting up the chicken wire this weekend, then he will start building the chicken run off to the side.
We have 6 red sex link pullets and 8 silkies that just arrived last week.
heh I knew someone would say that. We thought about it, I guess we decided it would be a ton of harware cloth and it would be pretty spendy. I think we will eventually at least at the bottom of the pen. We just happen to have the chicken wire available right now. I was also thinking it might make sense to put a short fence along the bottom so they don't attract predators. The thing is, since they are under cover it dosen't get much sun under there and if I put a small fence up no sun will get under there at allLooks awesome! I would use 1" hardware cloth instead of chicken wire, just read where a hawk got a chick thru the chicken wire.

I boil mine and feed them back to the chickens. I don't usually wait that long. You might want to crack one and use the smell test first. I have done this for over a year without problem.Does anyone know if you can boil/cook the "clear" eggs from an incubator? They didn't develop. I thought about giving them to the chickens instead of letting them go to waste but wasn't sure they'd be safe? I have 17 eggs#!
