Kinda sad isn't it? It is sorta yellow orange, looks kind of like a potato so we can call them all the same name no matter how different they are from each other.

I was thinking about that tulle some more. How do the insects get in to pollinate the plants? Not a problem with greens and brassicas but "fruit" plants like tomatoes, beans, etc need pollinating insects.

Coons and possums climb trees .... very well. But I agree, though chickens aren't great fliers and mine will run rather than fly more often than not, I think they have a slightly better chance to escape if they aren't clipped. But don't forget that coons can and will be out several hours after...
