Re: [CHICKENS-101] Hawk attack, grrr! String across a run

 

Dawn, It was probably hiding watching you.  :>   I caught a huge boar opossum in a live trap last night, finally.  My white rocks have woke me every night for a week.  It's been emptying live traps; between it and the cat keeping the traps baited has been a full time job. It may have gotten into the rat and mouse bait before it made it to the live trap.  I put stuff out under the barn and the mice, 'coons, opossums don't get too far after eating it.   Maybe, just maybe, the white rocks won't call me out of bed to their pen tonight.

Got the cover finished today. And have the sunburned shoulders also.
We went to TSC yesterday to get wire for around the bottom (it's a dog kennel) and I had enough of the plastic poultry netting to do almost all of the top. Used a tarp to cover the rest for now.
The beasty did come back the next eve, but I went out soon as the chickens went off. Didn't return tonight. Hoping it was just migrating.
So proud of the little one's in there this eve. They actually put themselves to bed in their crate! Finally. Getting tired of rounding up chicks with a flashlight in one hand.

Gothy

How frustrating!!  Fruit tree netting at Walmart is cheaper and goes farther.

Well I finally decided to let my standards/can be replaced bantams and Indian Runners free range. I put everyone on lock down last Fall due to foxes. 2 weeks go by. No problems.
