I did a Thing.....

I've heard washing in vinegar helps to cut the toxicity by ageing it.

I'll definitely give that a shot, too!

Chicken Coop arrived today! It's 7-8 feet long, has wide bar spacing, and offers more playroom than their cages. Now if only they wouldn't refuse to enter it **Cough Yvons Cough**.

I won't have to wash it.. It's powder-coated. YIPPIE! Bar spacing is bigger than I feel comfortable with, but as I'm supervising the cage and the only real problem will be the older birds if they decide to come out of their cage, I don't think I should have to worry.

And if you missed my post on my flock thread, here's the coop:

And Vortex acting as the Model:

I got more shots today! The first picture shows us our lovely model, Vortex, being unimpressed with being stuck in the contraption again...

The next shows the depth of the cage. I swear it's like 2 and a half of her cages put together. Not great for flying high, but good for flying straight

I like it. I hope she can't get her head stuck between the bars.

Very nice! That’s some great space for the bigger birds!

I hope not. She and Yvons are as big the birds as I trust the coop with.

I just wish Yvons would allow me to take him to it!

A Tour of the cage:

That looks nice. I wouldn't rush Yvonn. He's only been with you a short time. He may equate new cage new and strange home. Let him observe the others.

Thanks . I keep forgetting that step ups are new to him in my care. He has an absolute hatred of sticks, which Vortex also has. I dunno how to catch her (or him) when its time to go to the cage.... and time to come back to their home cage.

How did you get Vortex into the new cage?

I managed to get her on a stick/perch with lots of praise. Took some convincing tho. And I made sure to give her some almonds .
