    Hawks?

I walked over to the far back corner and found her ripped up. In the morning I went to the coop and out of the corner of my eye I...

    My chicks are grounded!

    So I went home that night pulled out the old rolls of deer fencing we had, climbed thru the brush getting smacked in the face by branches, trying desperately to avoid anything that even remotely resembles poison ivy or any of the sort.

    Automatic opener for flap door?
