Hawk

I have heavy duty netting that covers all of my pens. I have a couple of coops that are open on one side and something was killing birds in those coops. I couldn't figure out how it was getting in, this was before I put up the netting. I put up a game camera and discovered it was an owl. I had put electric wires around my coops and pens and I had put concrete under the gates because of a fox, now I put up the netting over the pens. The trees were much smaller then and we have added more coops since.

We have been raising chickens for a long time as like most people started with a few birds and a coop with a run and over the years added more and more coops and pens and birds. This year I hatched only about half as many as I usually hatch out. Not going to add any more coops. We're getting to old and now it's time to downsize.
