Surviving Minnesota!

Couple of other pics. It shows the layering of the different kinds of wire.

Pic might be a bit big, sorry if it takes over your screen

Still tons of work to be done. Hoping for a good weather Monday.

If your welded wire is 2 inch by 4 inch it will likely prove inadequate. A weasel can do tricks through it and then go right through the chicken wire.
I have hardware cloth on the first 2 or 3 ft. of my outdoor runs. That will keep out most predators.

Since I'll be gone most days, I'll have to make sure it's pretty bulletproof. My question is won't the weasel/mink etc just club up and over the hardware cloth to get into it? Or is it more of a deterrent?

They do not seem to climb...if they stand on their back legs and do not see a way in they seem to give up,,,

No one said they were smart.....

Not my pictures but I think I’m picking up a pair of Grizzle Blue Bar Pouters and a Brown Grizzle hen. Kind of excited. I love the looks of these Horseman Pouters.

Holm's enjoy the pigeons but don't use them for target practice.

Varagol, what Ralphie said seems to be on target, although he seems to be more concise and serious now that he is running for office.

Erlibrd, good to see you on here. Have you been on vacation?

Guess what? No not chicken butt. It is raining again and those doomsayer global warming people seem to be full of BS. It has not been warm here for some time. It is beginning to look as though the area that will support the cultivation of wild rice is expanding. This is good news for the dux.

Yes we have had rain, rain and more rain. The forecast for the weekend is cool and overcast. Have a good time in Duluth, but be very careful if you go to Superior.

Rain here as well. Better than snow but not ice. I don’t plan on going into cheese head land this time.
