fuurr reeeaaalllll Even when I was kid growing in a huge metro area I knew a rooster from a hen. Can the youth of today be that oblivious or was it something they ingested ?
This does not answer your question because I do not use PVC. First I construct frames 8 ft by 6 ft from wood, staple chicken wire and shade cloth to cover my runs and garden area. To keep them in place I used mental polls like they use for chain linked fences. Had some one hold them while I poured cement into quart planter buckets or foot square blocks. I then dig them into place and tie my frames to the metal.
Yes four birds. Three of them are worse than the fourth one which you can only see skin when it turns a certain way. We've been letting the birds out all day even while we are gone and the dogs have free access to the same area. We hadn't really had an issue like this before and ever since the last time about two weeks ago when I had to cull the one bird we were putting the trouble making dog in the laundry room when no one was home. Apparently the wife stopped doing this just this week since she is the last to leave in the morning.
There were like two or three mounds of loose feathers, a couple of clumped feathers and then the rest was scattered all over the yard. Three mounds = three birds plucked the worst? I used my weed blower to suck it all up. I could have stuffed a pillow with all the feathers I picked up.
