I have an invasive morning glory that I believe should be on the bad to eat list. My birds ignore it. I also purchased a bag of clover seed for their yard area but it came coated. Tough to keep the yard green.

good reminder thanks for the article.

Thank you all. I learned how to search this forum. What a fabulous resource back yard chicken can be.

How can I be directed to a thread with plans for a roll away nest

Excellent article I now recognize some previous issues because of this information.

I would love to give your hens a new home. I have been keeping chickens for 5 years now and of my current Gang of Four three where adopted from a family that had to move. They would be well cared for. Powerhour

Deano Try shamrock farm in mendon. You might be able to communicate with them on Facebook.

I’m in metro west in a not very pet friendly town. I’ll leave it at that

Hi tigger , bird netting 50x100 on Amazon $76 thru $100 Any cover helps. I allow a wild rasberry to grow behind the coop. It’s taking over my old garden area but grows thick and provides seasonal snacks for the birds. I too would love a yard dog but will wait to retirement to spend more time...

Bird netting is pretty cheap. I purchased a big box but never deployed it. Would destroy our view. I guess it’s part time ranging for both of us. The good news is the days are getting longer so the girls will have more freedom and we get more eggs. Gatehopper

Hi Karl, not much you can do except supply cover. I’m lucky enough to have a good deal of shrubbery between my yard and my neighbors and have had one Killed and two others attacked by hawks over three years. I only free range part time and have started putting the girls in earlier than dusk...

Thanks tigger your reply did come to my email. It’s the Massachusetts thread I want to be set up that way.

I believe this thread should post to my email but seems to drop off constantly. Anybody have a solution Thanks you

Hi drellbug being down to 2 hens due to a coyote attack l may be interested in your hens. Are they still laying are where may I see them. I am in the metro west area

Look up the shamrock farm in Mendon. I have purchased chicks and pullets from them, all healthy.

Welcome aboard Dennis, I lived on the Cape through most of the 70"s. Miss it. Good luck with the birds.

Great idea I just subscribed. I too would like to know what's available locally. I wonder if something like this is available on the backyard garden site?:)

Welcome to the clutch. What kind of birds are you keeping.

Seriously, Wilbraham is densley populated now??? What an overreach by your lawmakers.

Thanks I didn't want to hear that but I believe you are correct. I just don't get the u tube videos showing these 45 watt systems in use. Thanks for your time
