I have deployed some of the wire pens I have been building over the past few weeks. I am restricting the guys from the gals. I feel somewhat like a Junior High School teacher at a dance… ruler in hand to maintain that 'safe' distance. The boys are not happy about the current living arrangements, but things will improve shortly, I do believe. I am using medium rabbit feeders and pellets and horizontal nipples for my water, all external to the cage. The pens are about 36 inches long, 30 inches deep and 16 inches high. I've made some smaller ones as well for sorting containers and such, never seem to have enough pens, coops, cages and such. I also have been looking at those egg aprons, you know the ones with the little pockets to tuck your eggs in? Anyone using one or have insight into same? Foggy and cold around here lately, this might be starting to get on my nerves. Best to all and your birds, RJ

Those pens look great! I need to build some! I don't have an apron. I just bought a wire basket from a dollar store.

Well I am getting a tad tired of the cold and snow, so brought the DW's modern game, self blue, BluPea into the house for some loving. She, both the DW and BluPea were ecstatic over said event. She is a younger pullet and may be yet to lay, but she is super sweet. My rescue cat Tiki, knows not to mess with the chickens, been chased more that once into the house by the Fluffy Butts. BluPea had some treats and warmed her long, winter legs… I am liking these MG's more and more as time goes by. Hoping everyone is in and warm, RJ

She's adorable RJ! Love that color. My MG girls are so sweet. I just wish that brown red boy would be nice. :/
 
farmboy, I was thinking on something like this… the ones that go up over the neck, seem a little much to me. IPick, yes, a mean rooster is not something that is wanted in most flocks. Sorry you have one, on the whole I believe the Modern Game birds are more friendly than many birds. Around my place that seems to be the case, I have a MG Birchen, BluPea and Henny Penny who are all good to jump up into my lap, out in the coop. I enjoy not having to 'chase' them to enjoy them.



Best to all and your birds,

RJ

That's the type of apron I'd get as well. It'd be nice to have both hands free while working. My wife is thinking about seeing one up for me. If she does, I'll post pictures!

I like these too, I have an old coat I wear out there with lots of pockets, I keep the toenail clippers in it because I seem to be always coming across one in the nest that needs her nails clipped, plus a few other supplies like leg bands, a pen for marking eggs, etc. It would be nice to have something with all those pouches for my gear then I would take an egg basket along.

I just looked outside--Does it really need to be snowing again? I am really over shoveling snow lol!!!

Do you think the 'overalls' looking apron would be ok for me? i like that there might be more room for eggs. I often get over a dozen, so need to plan that into the choice. Bitsy, that one in your link looks nice, but I might prefer it in a more 'canvas' looking carpenter apron like color.
