It's a good point you make about owls at night. I will put some wire up on the open side of the salt box. Thanks!
Many years ago, we forgot to put our chickens away one night and heard a ruckus. I looked out our bedroom window and could see this huge brown mound of something on the front porch...
I've ordered my meat chicks for the year and this time I doubled the order. I usually split 25 chickens between a hoop house and a chicken tractor and let everyone free range during the day. With 50 chickens, I am looking for another option.
I'm wondering if electric netting would keep predators...
