Probably wouldn't keep horses away from a fence, since the bees wouldn't try and sting the horse unless the horse was knocking over the hive or sounded like a two stroke lawnmower engine. In Florida, where they have problems with Africanized bees, horses are killed because they suffocate on the bees that swarm inside their nostrils and mouth - the horses don't try to run even when they are literally covered with bees.

Good morning everyone!

Been mia this weekend. Really busy with Halloween and my son coming to visit and then going to visit Granny in the nursing home.

Can't wait to get chicken coop up and going so I can buy some Cochins to put in it!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Guess I'd better go to bed now, research paper is finished and submitted and I have to get up in 5 and 1/2 hours to get the girls ready for school. I'll check in again later, goodnight everyone!

I have been busy all weekend finishing 2 chicken tractors, one I added 2. 6' runs on the sides. I still have to add wire to the runs but hope to have new photos of it on my website this week.

Good morning again!

Thought I'd get a few hours of sleep when I went to bed this morning but just as I laid down my birthday girl started vomiting....uuugggghhhhh!

So, back up and cleaning up. I have a very sick little birthday girl so no school today and lots of cleaning up and laundry....yuck!

Anyway, hopefully it will pass quickly, I am hoping to get my chicken coop in order this week and put protective covering over the chicken run.

Hope everyone else is having a better morning than I am...and yes, I am drinking lots of coffee...
