I was given this as the man that made it was a electrician he made it for his wife but the coons still killed all the birds. This was before with my old silkie in it

Looks like chicken wire on there. No wonder coons killed them.

coons are nasty about birds, they just kill and leave, been there,

They like to eat heads

Oh yes dug one of sex links from a nest this morning again but she is not coo cooing so why in the nest ?

Maybe planning to lay an egg.

They like to eat heads

It does surprise me how many different predators love heads.

I envision a line up of predators all calling out "brains! Brains!" Like zombies.

Yeah but I wish I wouldn't feel so 'alive' at times, Penny!

Hardware cloth and cable ties. The holy grail of poultry enthusiasts.

I've been out trying to dig up some potatoes. Like everything else, all tops, few bottoms. Frustrating but at least there are a lot of potatoes there that are the right size for roasting along with carrots and a few green beans thrown in.

You got that right! If I took out all the cable ties I have in my run, it would fall down. Well, all the fence would fall off, anyway.
