Amen to that! My inside brooder was so full/dusty from last weekend's hatch that yesterday I rearranged everyone outside and kicked the babies to the porch! I usually keep babies inside for at least a week or two but jeez!

I know! it's crazy! I thought my rabbit molting was bad. The brooder is on the fireplace hearth. everything near it has a flim of dust about 1/2 inch thick. no matter what I do to it. That, coupled with rabbit hair so our furniture looks like it's wearing sweaters. The chicks spent the day on the screened porch, so maybe I'll send them out again and do some deep cleaning.

I have some metal shears that go in my cordless drill. They're designed to cut metal roofing (that's when I bought them when we were roofing our house) they're like electric scissors on hardware cloth.




Of course you still have to fight it trying to roll up on you, and snagging fingers, arms, etc etc

Oh hell yeah! We need that! My husband has to replace the metal roof on the pool house. It looks like a sardine can right now. And, I want to eventually re-roof over our existing one with metal. I need to tell him about those.

I bought mine at the metal roof dealer. I have seen similar ones at Harbor Freight, and they are cheaper. For an occasional user they'd probably be fine
 
That coop is looking good! I think hardware cloth is easier to work with than poultry wire only because it doesn't cut as deep. Ya know, go to open your habd only to discover blood or a cut that just opened up like Cliff's ravine when you thought it was a scratch? Not so bad with thicker metal hardware cloth!

Hello all been lurking in the background just wondering if anyone knows where I can find some blue laced red Wynn dots chicks

Bug me in about three weeks. I'm testing an incubator now, and if it works I'm going to order some BLRW hatchling eggs. :) So it'd be about 6-8 weeks from now til chicks, best case.

Haha! Not trying to laugh at Cliff's unfortunate near death experience, but that is funny! So far, no cuts. Yet. Chicken wire is pretty sharp.

I'm thinking she just coined what will become a much used phrase with that 'opened up like Cliffs ravine" thing..........

and the great part is only those of us that come here on a regular basis and were here this week will understand it HA



PS sorry Cliff
