Planning ahead for the Chicken Flock

[Mortblanc]

I tried portable netting with my birds but they simply flew over the wire.

My birds think they are eagles and do a lot of flying. I sometimes find them in the trees and sitting on the fence tops.

I had a coyote get after them once and they all flew straight up in the air. The look on that coyote's face was hysterical! He spun around in a circle looking for the meal that disappeared and then stood still in confusion just long enough for me to open up on him with the 12ga. I did not kill that particular one but he did learn that he could run like he had an afterburner in his butt.

The chickens refused to come out of that tree for a day and night.
