    Aerial protection idea

    https://a.co/d/hORFGhP Or https://a.co/d/7KKztrz Depends on how heavy of a hawk presence you have. I use a thinner nylon 3/4" hole but I also toss weeds and leaves onto the netting so that the birds can easily see that there is a barrier.

    Letting Hen Raise Chicks

    I just had a hen go broody and I have eggs in incubators with 7 days and 14 days remaining. My question is what temps do you let broody hens have chicks? Seems a little cold to me but I guess it depends on if she's a good mom or not?
