Chicks Escape

The chicks have a tendency of escaping onto the pasture (and Jip) side of our backyard.

We haven't figured out exactly how they do it, but we think they are sneaking through the woven wire fence. That will not happen forever; they're very close to being too big to squeeze through. However, it's still makes us paranoid that Jip will get one of them.

I solved the problem by attaching deer fencing to the wire fence.

Amazingly, I had two pieces that fit perfectly in the two areas I needed to cover.

If the chicks still get out, I give up; there's no other place for them to escape.

Our hatched ducklings were getting too big for their box in the garage. They got moved out to the shed as well, back in the area where Svetlana and her kids used to sleep.

It didn't take long for them to acclimate to their new home. I think they'll outgrow it sooner rather than later at their current pace. We'll have to give the trampoline and overhaul...
