I should run some chicken tractors with some broilers next summer. You people have me wanting to do this now. As if I don't already have stuff to do already.
What a gorgeous fall morning. Nice and brisk with fog lifting off the pot holes and lakes. It was a cool drive out there this morning. And the woods are on fire. It was well after sunset last night putting chooks to bed...but it was like it was still light out there with the last bit of light from the sky reflecting off those golden leaves. Oh it was gorgeous. The chickens are in heaven with the cooler air, bugs on leaves coming down, cooked squash tailings. The only thing is the molt...but they seem to be doing okay. The BLRW and the BA are are a little slow. Roger's back is a mass of quills, and his tail is about gone. But he's in good spirits nonetheless with two or three layers still putting out eggs.
Rhetts. First picture looks like an adolescent wolf. Second looks coyote. I concur. Bears hibernate in the winter so a hoop coop would be disrupted only by an agressive wolf...but I think you could stake it in and cattle pannels are pretty tough. Reinforced with hardware cloth they'd be pretty indestructible. Not probably worth the effort if done right. Thanks for sharing the pictures. People get a nice idea what you're dealing with there. What a PITA.
Still working on potty training the obnoxious yellow lab pup. She insists on pooping downstairs in the basement. She's so sneaky and quick too. ugh. kennel kennel kennel kennel...... I'm sick of poop....
