M and S help with the bees, mid-Spring.

We’re looking forward to adopting a flock of chickens in the spring. Before they arrive, however, we have to make sure we can keep predators out. We’ve got coyotes, raccoons, foxes, skunks, opossums, and raptors of all kinds, including bald eagles.

My brother sent me the Chicken Chick’s website as a resource for making the chicken coop and run a safe place. I’ll be passing her tips on to the building committee.
