Hi Pam,
I always admire your farm stories. I'm working on getting my own little heaven together too. Do you have any ducks? I had hoped to free range my chickens during the day and coop them at night, But all week long as I've been finishing up the coop, there have been 2 hawks circling our property and flying pretty low. They seem to hang out right in the tree line and have been appearing several times throughout the day. We have kittens so I'm not sure if that's what they're interested in, but I'm pretty sure our chickens wouldn't last long. Do you have problems with hawks getting to your flock? I think I'm going to make them a long covered run instead.
Aloha, Angela
