How to prediter proof the Chicken run ? Since we live in the Pacific Northwest , we put netting Over the top of the chicken coop , & the whole encloser , as we have 3 kinds of Owls , Eagles , & 2 kinds of Hawks , plus we have cyotes as well ! Since we have Molly our Boarder Collie , she does a pretty good job of Keeping the cyotes away , when the chickens are let out of the chicken coop encloser , to get a much needed Dirt & Sawdust Bath , in my husbands
Sawmill carport ! As we are in the process of Having 80 ft. to 200 ft. Huge Douglas Firs taken down , Due to a 35 K + , 175 ft. Douglas Fir went Trough our
Living rm. & Bdrm. Roof , & did about $98 K worth of damage to our Hse. ... Being proactive !! What do I put in the run ? Since we have a Huge Sequioa ,
( type of Red Ceder ) and a Magnolia tree next to it , which drops its leaves , every fall , I rake that stuff up into a wheel barrow , & put about 6 - 8 w.b.loads onto
The ground , when they are not let out of the chain link fenced run , for thier Safety ! As it contains worms & other tastey Bugs ! Plus , it Keeps them off of the
Wet & Mucky ground !! As we have had record Rain fall , 8 + in. thus far , for Oct.
Plus , since I work from home , as a proffessional glass artist , with a Studio , I make time to go into the enclosed run , & scoop out the chick. Pooh periodically
Troughout the day , with a Hoe ! Hope this answers All of the questions ... Aloha & Mahalo ! Sherren & Molly & Crew ( Sherren's Glassworks )
