I can't wait to start doing that. In the meanwhile, I found a local source for fresh roasted, and I have a really good hand grinder and an AeroPress, so I've been grinding fresh for each cup in the mornings (since I only drink one cup, it makes a lot of sense. SOOOOOO good! 

Oh, I'm sure you can, I just decided not to bother.

Don't suppose they were helped by a boot to the rear end?

Nope, I was trying to catch them and put them back in their pen/cage because they were running around like chickens with their heads cut off over the sleet....

Every other bird I own went back inside on their own. I caught the three in a net tried to get one out and two escaped and ran in opposite directions into the woods... I have not bothered to go looking for them. I know they were eaten.

Sally and others - here's the rabbit hole I fell down on Pinterest/Google last night when I couldn't sleep - gambion cages for landscaping. I have so many rocks, and plenty of bits of scrap welded wire, this is a no brainer!

Thought the same of my dumb rooster when he ran away. Back in two days. I was shocked. Birds just don't come back from the woods here.

Definitely for the really big stuff and the you use large rocks and place them carefully, it takes longer. But you can use smaller stones and just pour them in (there are neat examples of very nice looking planters).
