Went to Home Depot today and picked up a 6 X 10 chain link kennel to go in a 12 x 12 mfd horse stall with stall mat flooring.  We will assemble next weekend.  My husband thinks there is no way anything can get in to the stall and the kennel was overkill. I am all for Fort Knox!  

I agree!! I've recent read diff posts were 4 folks have lost their flocks or almost all of them . 3 duck flocks & 1 chicken flock. So sad . I had a dry run w/ my ducks in the house/pen. I was so worried about injury & safety. That I took most of it apart & redid a lot of stuff. I only have 3 ducks, but I love them so much.

Sorry you had to put your dog down.

We have a 16 yr old Blue Heeler that we know her day is coming. She's hard of hearing and doesn't see very well, but she's still getting around and enjoys herself!

Thanks. The dog we had to put down was a Blue Heeler. She was 12. Hubby had trained her to seek out snakes and have a special bark to alert us. Glad to hear that your girl is still going and enjoying life!

We bought a used chicken coop with a little run with a very secure roost/nest box to lock up while they sleep. It is in a 6x8 chain link kennel which I wrapped in plasticware cloth netting attaching it to the chainlink with cable ties. We made an openable roof for the kennel from aluminum poles we had and covered in hardware cloth. We did it this way because we had limited funds and had to use what we already had and used stuff. It works out fine for 2-3 chickens, and I have a few chainlink panels I hook together for a temporary pen so they can get out in the grass while I clean the yard and coop. Ours can't be free range and coop has to be secure due to lots of dogs and wild predators. We are fencing an area by the yard for a future garden which they can get out into to scratch around, and building another coop from scrap wood we've collected so we can expand the flock.

Welcome from Rosenberg! You have come to a friendly enabling thread. We believe in 'chicken math'. What kind of chickens do you have?

Not sure, think they might be EE.not even a week old yet. Have a post in what my breed. Only they don't look like chipmunks to me?

I went over to your post and looked. They are cute little buggers, aren't they? I picked up 3 ameracaunas and 3 speckled sussex almost 2 months ago. All 3 of ameracaunas looked totally different from each other. Is this your first time with chicks?

[Dirtydog]

Yes it is.

How can you tell the difference between ameracaunas and Easter eggers? I nearly bought some chicks being sold as amweacaunas but I think they were EE, all the chicks looked identical, brown with 2 black strips down their back. They were at a feed store who orders from Ideal Poultry.
