    Those of us who hatch often have spare boys who need to be gotten out of the main flock because they're bothering the hens and annoying the Flockmaster rooster, I thought this quick-and-dirty build could be useful to others. Important Note: This is a medium-security holding facility for...

    Evacuation - what to do with chickens

Along with myself and my family, we took our 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 5 brand new chicks and 2 of our four chickens (still feel so guilty about leaving...
