Covering Up Vent Holes

[Booswalia]

vent is now covered. I never thought about squirrels.
Can't see how hardware cloth will keep bugs out though.

It wont. What you have to do is put window screen up first then put the hardware cloth over the window screen.
Better yet is the vent covers that get put on the new homes like the soffit vents.

I didnt think about squirrels!!! I go out to the coop, and they are clucking and running, All I can see of course once Im in the run and trapped...*felt trapped when all I saw was this thing with fur*....all I see once Im in there is this "thing" running really fast and all over, climbing on the top part of the kennel run, which is over my head..and all along the ways...hanging on and running so fast...I couldnt make out what it was other than FUR...and a animal...

I was so scared!!!!

I couldnt get to the door of the run by then, and I thought what if this thing attacks me!!! will it turns out it was a squirrel that got scared because when I came it couldnt get out fast enough, slim down to fit in the tight opening...WHEW!!!!

Rats will get your eggs and some have reported their chickens being chewed on by rats while they sleep on the roost.
