Yup we found them at the nursery. They get about 10 ft tall and then 6-8 gt wide so good shade inside the pen!

So vines... I haven't been able to find this one but the nursery suggested it..

Tangerine Beauty Crossvine.. Bignonia... From what I have googled it shoudl be fine but has one used it?

They did tell us that Wisteria is toxic.. Duh we already knew that but they actually said that people use it for arrangement on their tables and if htey put fruit in it nad then eat the fruit that humans can get really sick!!

yeah found a egg yesterday when I decided to check the boxes. Probably a Ringed Teal as the egg is small. Been working on putting Cypress limbs in the Aviary. All the Whislters are staying away from those area. others love it hmmm

Its funny how much bigger the hens undercarriage gets when they start to lay. My other hen just started laying 2 days ago and she looks to almost be dragging the ground.
As far as my drake goes...Went and got some Baytril from the vet. It was just 2 shots that he sold me (luckily only like $1.40 total) and said if it is a bacteria infection it will take care of it and if not it won't hurt him to have it so fingers crossed.

yep baytril cant hurt. Have you picked him up to see if he has good weight? I think I saw on the other forum where you said the other one that died had a real thin breast. The ones I have had with this condition I could never save(i think duck TB) only one bird ever came out of this after having it. I tried worming and antibiotics short of paying a vet nothing worked.
