Ahhh ha! I had been looking allover trying to figure out how to
change mine...

Hey everyone! I came home to a hawk in the backyard, good thing the run is done and I have the fishing line up.
WW and Deb good luck on your hatches!
I hope Shooter is doing even better tonight Deb!

IIF I'd like to see your drawing, could you post a pic? Today is my mom and nieces birthday, (my sister the suck up gave my mom a grandchild for her birthday, like I can ever top that

)

About fishing line over the run....how far apart are you spacing them? Should I put the line going in one direction only or should it crisscross like a checker board?

I lost a meat bird this week to what I thought was a hawk, but a friend said that the size and color I described sounded more like a juvenile eagle. It was huge! Anyone have an eagle take out your birds?

i swiched to shavings lasy night i like it so much more than hay but the chickens where todly upset they refused to go in at night.in the mrning it was fine though and i think it makes it so they cant eat their eggs cause it is super bouncy

Carmen, I just strung it from rung to rung in my chain link.....here is a photo I took of it.....I want to say I skipped two loops and then threaded it threw again and back over.

I am SO bummed today, I went out to the baby pen and one of hubbies guineas is gone. I have
looked allover for her. Not a sign of anything, not even a feather!
Unfortunatly they are able to fly between the chain link and the covered top.....this is the second time
she had figured it out.

Leave some food out for her... maybe the others will call her back in...

Don't give up hope just yet. I had a missing chicken for three days before I found her in a prickly bush. She was stuck nice and solid too. I had to use shears to get her out. Now she follows me EVERYWHERE.

ETA: like this one, but the leaves are thicker and on the ground (no trunk) http://media.photobucket.com/image/prickly bush/Fiestavus/575IMG_3872.jpg

Thanks ladies, I'll try not to fret too much. Last time she did this she
just hung around the kennel where everyone was. I sure hope she comes back!
