The bears make me nervous..... The brute strength! I am hoping for a sturdy coop shelter. I love electricity! they encourage electric fence to protect chicken coops here. No snakes in Anchorage. Yay!
We had two bald eagles sitting in our back yard last winter. My run will have a roof or a wire top Definitely! I have seen Moose in town and bears wander through the neighborhood. I have seen a Lynx in a busier part of town. Amazes me!
