I want 2021 to be a happy year for both my husband and me. Retired two years ago and it's been a little diffiuclt. We're opposites in that I like to plan my days and he likes to get up and float thru the day. We both need to accept and celebrate our differences. Good luck with the chickens, it certainly looks like you've done all possible.

We cannot change the world to our conditions, we must change ourselves, sigh. Love the lengths you've taken to protect your little feathered babies! I've seen these contraptions that look like red "eyes" that you can mount on fence panels and posts, etc., makes the vermin think there are coyotes or other predators about, and sends the vermin packing! Or so I've read!

I am going to work on not doing the internal fighting against this and that in 2021. I realized I am stressing myself out over stuff I can't change in any major way. Can only deal with things the best way I can (be as prepared as you can be, yes) and then leave it at that. Your post really hit home for me today. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-18645718685846393832020-12-28T09:24:48.523-05:002020-12-28T09:24:48.523-05:00My British mother drove an ambulance during the Lo...My British mother drove an ambulance during the London Blitz/war, had her home bombed and lost her Royal Navy brother to a U-boat torpedo.

Should you not have placed them upside down? Now I do not have chickens so I am by far an expert on cakepans security fences.<br /><br />We used to have two dwarv rabbits the furry kind. When we were on holliday my brother (is also our neighbour) looked after them. They were taken by a fox. I never wanted new ones.The foxes from the dunes closeby are getting daring more and more and I would have had to lock them up all them time. Pretty sure cakepans do not help with foxes.<br /><br />I could use your cleaningspur. Once the christmass deco is gone we will be having the dark months of January and February. I will need the cleaning then...
