Jamie - that's a crazy one. Did she make some extra noise after that one?

Just ran across this excellent article about chickens and how they will be such an important part of energy descent planning...enjoy!  Hope all of your are enjoying your flock.  My five girls are laying more now, with the longer days.  They also ate all the slug babies this winter so my garden is growing things I thought had died back long ago! Chickens in the Energy Descent

Thanks Kate! Thats good to know! If anyone happens to go by the marina and sees theres some purse seine netting in a heap for the taking, could you please email me at jham@iahf.com or call at 800-333-2553 H&W? I live in Point Roberts so it takes me an hour to get down to Bellingham and I have to go thru 4 border crossings round trip so I don't go down there very often.

Its best if you can use purse seine netting rather than gillnet...the first is thick black netting (very visible) and the gillnet is thin nylon.  Birds and other critters can get snagged in it because they can't really see it.

Thanks Deanna-

Very much appreciated! I live in Point Roberts and am not down in Bellingham very often, but I'd plan a trip down if there was any netting available and I had a few other errands to run at the same time. If anyone happens to be by the marina and sees any netting, could you please give me a call at 800-333-2553 H&W? That would be a huge help! I just came in for lunch after building the run off my coop so I can get them outside, and all I need to complete it so I can start using it is this netting.

Hi John, the best place down in Bellingham at least to get netting is at the marina.  Usually there is a large pile of discarded fishing netting next to the dumpsters that is free for the taking.  We use it for fencing around the school gardens and it works great. You can find all sizes, guages and colors.....
