I have several friends tell me that I have the acreage to allow my chickens roam abouts, but I'm with you..I'd rather keep my chickens cooped up and protected, than to allow for them to free range and become an all-you-can-eat buffet meals for the hawks, eagles, falcons, coyotes, foxes, et al.
I installed a solar panel electrical system in one of my gun club's shipping container this morning.
I brushed out the mangled hairs on both my Chow Chow and Husky.
I drank a six pack of beer as an appetizer before dinner.
