Yes, autocorrect is the bane of my existence. I really should turn it off as it's the literal worst. Campines, that should read. They are supposed to be very adept flyers, similar to Hamburgs, which I've seen be able to escape a tall poultry fence. We'll see with the weasels - my current...

Yes, my thoughts... though there's a lot of building materials on site (metal framing and probably netting or greenhouse wrap. The current owner is essentially only taking personal belongings with him and everything else, including furniture, stays. Our friend in the area also has a similar...

Yup.. we've pretty much made rats lose interest in our current setup thanks to treadle feeders and I prefer aviary wire, though it's expensive and I won't be as restrictive on space at the new place, but would like things contained. I've seen a stoat crossing the road here on its way to the...
