You found a dead witch in your coop, and it was cold? How did a witch get in there to begin with?

After digging several holes and setting posts, rolling out 150' of 6' chicken wire, and stapling it up, I almost completed the containment pen. I still have to build a gate, run some guy wire along the top and bottom to stiffen the edges, and stake the bottom down so there won't be any chickens slipping out underneath. Sounds like another full day of activities with this pen. It sure is taking a lot of time away from building on the new 12'x16' coop. And guess what? I get to put up another 150' of 6' chicken wire around it as well! YAY!!! These pens won't be designed to keep critters out, but only to keep chickens in. With a killer dog next door, I can't risk losing anymore. The new coop and runs will be predator proof... as are the current two. The containment pen will allow the chickens to (semi) free-range, but as always, they'll be locked in at night.

After I stopped working on the new pen, I decided to relax and watch the chickens for a little while. The BR's that I hatched in December kept hanging around the fence in front of me, so I shot a little video. I've culled all the cockerels except for one, which I decided to keep since he's so protective of the girls... all 11 of them. He's kind of handsome as well, so I'm glad he doesn't have to go.

That roo is gorgeous. I love barring. And he's got a nice heavy breast. Should make some good meaties.
