    Outdoor roost?

    Thinking of building an outdoor roost for guineas and some game hens. Thought about a raised roost with metal poles do keep climbers out. I have had a couple in a tree that are doing fine but I know they are not safe by anymeans.

    Weasel attack? Graphic pic

    Thats all that I can figure. My pen is all 1/2 inch welded wire. The only place I think anything could have got in is in the peaks of the tin covering the top. I cut wooden block to fill those gaps and wrapped the legs in tin as a backup since the attack. I have dogs and they had all of the...
