Wow, thanks for the warm welcome. I knew you were my people!

Yes!! We have coyotes, bobcats, red shouldered hawks, snakes and there is rumored to be a mountain lion around, too! The girls and their man spend their nights in a hen house inside a fenced yard - 5 sides, chain link with 1/2 inch wire mesh on the bottom 2 feet. It is a fortress. They stay there if we are not home, too. They are out only when we are home and our big dog is spending lots of time outside.

The dog! He is funny with the chickens! He wanted to eat them at first, but he learned quickly that we didn't approve. Once they were big, we let him go with them. He just ignores them, mostly. But he and the roo have had a face off or two - HILARIOUS!!

He also helps us keep them off the patio.

That is the real problem around here! My beautiful patio is all poopy!

Now we are spending more money on fencing around the patio (over 100 feet!)

These are the most expensive eggs in the world!

Those emoticons are fun!

Welcome to BYC. I just joined also after discovering this forum last month. We also got our first chickens as a homeschool project a few years ago, but now my girls & I are hooked on them.
