Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: How to manage free range egg laying in odd places?

 

I can see you, outside with a post hole digger, burying 15 and 18 ft long cedar posts with flat supports on top to keep the netting from tearing, all over your yard in neat rows, and you slowly netting your entire back yard over, for Hannibelle.   I'm saying this tongue in cheek because I have vast areas of covered pens on my property.  People are amazed when they see how much is covered between 8 very, very large outdoor pens, soon to be 9.

I'm very concerned about hawks. One of my neighbors lost 6 chickens to a nasty "chicken hawk" as he calls it. I know I'm courting danger letting Hannibelle run free, but I don't want to coop her up.
