No worries. They actually have a nice big run so are fine.

I know, I would like to let these chicks run over more of the yard. But I am not able to protect them from a falcon attack. The little chick-wagon is my attempt to get them into some garden bed areas. I like the tool that @rjohns39 linked to. I might have to spring for some of the cool big wheels . . . as we get out the checkbook, again :lau so what is another $3-400 bucks when chicks would look so cool & be so happy! 🤩

I find myself scheming on ways to chunnel mine in the garden beds too.

Catch 22 is to get them out I have to either run them through the duck run or through my storage area in the big coop now.

I found squash bugs on my beautiful squash plants today, earwigs....those are my bane, squirrels are stealing full sunflower heads, and I am sure there are other bugs needing destroyed.

If the foxes would come back they would reduce the bunny populations and hawks would move off. Never thought I would wish for fox.....
 
At least a groundhog hasn't chewed a hole in your sheds door and you don't have a billion skunk diviots in the yard.
Crap bring on them earwigs lol!
My dad had me scared stiff of those things, said they ate brains.
They'd starve to death around here.:lau

I do have at least 3 different ages of bunny babies in the yard. They burrow under the coops. Their mama's at least raised them right. They leave the garden and flower beds alone.

Got the grill fired up! Fixing an actual steak tonight with sauteed mushrooms, baked potato, and for the carb lovers here mac and cheese. My tater is tiny and I have a squash I can cook too.

A tiny celebration since hubs is taking a weeks vacation that started 45 minutes ago.

:oops: I didn't realize they were THAT loud.

Those squash are in a planter box made from an old shipping crate. It is over 2' tall. Next year.....I will plant them low down and MUCH closer to the quackers.
