before lockdown I have my humidity around 45% and during lockdown I have it around 65%.
Yup. That's her. I candled the eggs last night at 5 days, and they all showed veining, so I am 7/7 at the moment. Hope yours do well also.
Raccoons are great climbers. They could easily do exactly what you are worried about. I would definitely cover any area the chickens rest near the fence with the hardware cloth. Just doubling the fence won't do it, as it won't make the holes small enough to keep their arms out. And if they can grab it, it's dead.So I know raccons climb things pretty well. I wonder, will they climb a 2x4 fenced in enclosure to reach thru and kill chickens? The predators would have to climb the fencing around the run to get at them, then hang on the fencing to reach thru to the chickens. My chickens are starting to like sleeping outside on some perches in the enclosed run, some right next to the 2x4 wire
.. They are easily near enough where a marauding animal could reach thru and get them at night. I'm thinking I should at least double the fencing in those particular areas, or maybe put up the 1/2'' hardware cloth in those areas.
Any thoughts? Otherwise our coop/run is highly secure unless a tornado strikes.
Also, look out for the giant chicken, he will easily lop off a human head and eat it!
