Ours are loose in a two acre pasture, so string doesn't "apply". We love our chickens too. We have flower bed chickens--it's the rehab center--the hen recovering from horse-broken leg and rooster with feet that will never recover from the frostbite, from previous owners. So, they live in our flowerbed all day and get ferried back to horsebarn at night. Best of both worlds--other than the doodie on the front side walk. :lol: I read that if you zig-zag twine randomly back and forth over the top of your pen, hawks will not be able to dive bomb into it…FYI…the only losses we have had have been from hawks.

Our bunch made it outside today too....all 6 of them....they took dirt baths and ran around the small "play area." The ducklings are still in the box...they are not quite a week old but they did come out on the carpet and say hello to the kindergartners today.- No cars for them either! OOOO so cool!

It is a site where folks share the same love of chickens and worries, LOL. I just called home to talk to DH and while talking about some other things I just had to ask how the chickens are doing.
