I like the blue legs on that top one.

Most of them are roosting in the trees. Getting close to separation time.

I wrote it off as a managing and culling of his own flock and decided maybe he knew best, but I'm wondering if this is going to continue until he has culled every layer hen that isn't one of his favorites. I wondered about Marek's as well, since I have had a few layer hens die of what seems...

My bull stag is driving out my layer hens one by one. He killed the first one when I tried to add her back to the flock after a separation period. He broke her lower jaw, so she couldn't eat. I won't make that mistake again. He has since driven out another one, a healthy Brahma hen I had to...

Chicks have run of the woods, and come back to the coop at night. She is good at finding them bugs and the occasional lizard.

The white has some pretty white chicks at the bottom. Think they will get the leg color?

I hadn't heard, lol.

Rat Graves leiper over Harold Brown leiper. She hatched 12 out of 13. One suffocated with a broken eggshell half over its egg, covering the pip hole.

The space I pictured is 16 ft long, 8 ft deep, and 9.5 ft tall inside, sloping to 7.5 ft. I could make 4x8 pens. To make them any deeper I would need to extend the walls. Ventilation when they are spending time on the ground was my other concern as well. So you are saying a minimum of about...

You say half walls. Are you planning on 5 foot fronts to keep the free ranger from interacting with the penned birds? I can't find much on this. I have this area I could convert to pens. I'm just wondering how tall I should make the solid portion.

Do you have any of these built yet Centra, pics? I'm going to need something similar this year.

Awesome! I'm so happy for you after all your efforts. Way to go!:thumbsup:jumpy

The snake will be back after getting a meal there. 1/2 x 1/2 hardware cloth should keep it out.

If it has only been a few days, she should sit on the new eggs just fine. Is the snake still an issue?
