I was at the Athens talk you did,
@Dave, and learned a lot. I wish i could have recorded those funny things you said at the first part of the speech. I wanted to share them with Dean, but now can't remember them. We had chickens hiding and hatching chicks everywhere, so we put the 60 hens in a pen we made. The 60 or so roosters we left out for the fox who was getting 1 - 2 chickens a day. The fox left. Guess he doesn't eat the tough roosters either. Anyway, we built a garden cage to keep out EVERYTHING except the bees. (And insects, unfortunately) Its really redneck looking as I made many bad choices with building materials, but I'm sending a picture anyway. As you can see, after last summer having everything cook in the garden, I added a shade cloth to the western side. Every year
there's a new problem to solve.
