I do hope you get to catch whatever's taking them.Ranch Strapshttp://www.shockstrap.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315022003590495950.post-19067375445899492252016-03-28T21:48:45.065-07:002016-03-28T21:48:45.065-07:00Sorry about your chickies...

Hubby finally rigged up an alarm system when the raccoon crossed the threshold and we caught him red-handed. After that, we screwed a few 2x4s across the pen (to the top railing) then stapled chicken wire to it. We never had another intruder.Maria Zanninihttp://www.mariazanninihome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315022003590495950.post-72869999007132692472016-03-24T11:14:20.010-07:002016-03-24T11:14:20.010-07:00we pray psalm 91 over our land and critters every ...we pray psalm 91 over our land and critters every day. and taught my dog to chase after and bark at hawks etc. since my son built a good coop and we lock all the chickens in just before dark we havent lost any.<br />Al from southern N.M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315022003590495950.post-55522430371895606522016-03-24T10:34:46.025-07:002016-03-24T10:34:46.025-07:00I finally built a coop with an oak floor that is u...I finally built a coop with an oak floor that is up off the ground and has steel lath which is a stamped steel screen as side panels. I don't thing anything short of a bear could get in there. It might be time to build Ft. Knox the chicken coop! It is about 4 x 8 and roosts over 20 birds.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315022003590495950.post-89897105103282832972016-03-24T08:35:33.855-07:002016-03-24T08:35:33.855-07:00Sorry to hear that you lost some birds.
