Paper Wasp Making a Nest in Our Coop

[Debra-Lyn]

Glad I did an advanced search and found this thread. Newbie here. The outbuilding I'm planning for our coop usually gets some wasp nests every year under the eaves. They don't usually bother me, but I am wondering about my new chicks. Is this a real concern or? Thanks for any advice anyone might have. I cringe to think I might be penning them up with something that might swarm and harm.

Apologies. Should have read the entire post! Sounds like nothing to worry about. Big relief.

I would be very careful letting them eat bumble bees. My husband's grandma's flock lost several birds when they eagerly ate bumble bees. They were stung in the throat, which swelled and killed them.
