We have terrible black bear problems! I just put my hive close enough to my chicken coop that I can jump the hot wire over if I need to. The hot wire was added to my run after a bear ripped the roof off my small coop and I had to chase him away with a shotgun. Lol.

Yesterday I was at the new Tractor Supply in Enumclaw.  They had lots of bee keeping equipment and I had the thought of getting some bees.  We live in the mountains though, and I think the bears would be a problem.  They do come by a couple times a year and eat all the grubs out of the ant hills in our neighbor's yard.  

My chickens love watermelon, too, and cantaloupe.  Even the babies devour it.

Waving from across the bridge in LB. As tempting as getting a couple silkies is, my husband will kill me if I get more birds right before I squish out this baby. Lol!

Hello from just across the bridge in Astoria!

I was wondering if anyone might be in need of any bantams- particularly bantam roos. I have some extras about, including beardless silkies, cochins, gold neck d'uccle, japanese and one lone blue OEGB cockerel who is very sweet to people. I don't have a pressing need for homes, but I'd like to do some more hatching this year, so I'd like to make some space.

Hah! Well, they aren't going anywhere, if you want some later. And they are super friendly, socialized little things. A lot of them even have experience being around kids, and are completely docile about it.

You are so funny Penny!

I messaged ChickenHermit just a little while ago. If it doesn't work out, I will have room for 1 rooster for our small flock.

Will get back to you once ChickenHermit replies.

ok thank you, I may raise one up for a dinner but my caregivers husband (they are also friends and chicken folks) will do the deed
for me as my vision I may get my hand or my friends if we try.

Not only that, but you want to make it quick and clean. I would feel terrible if I did it wrong and The poor thing suffered more than it had to. I'm sure you could find somebody to take them, even if you just gave them away. Or just raise them up and have three chicken dinners.
I'm sure glad my three turned out to be girls, at least I hope they are. Yes, I know girls is not the proper term but hey I don't care.
