Bird Feeder Problems

Our bird feeder hanging wire broke, so we set it on the planting bench so we could repair it. The picture says it all. This was just too funny! I hope the picture comes through.

These chickens have been the most rambunctious we have ever had. They hide the eggs and it is a never ending egg hunt. They have just about destroyed the Rhubarb playing hide and seek in it, and if that isn't enough the rooster will take on the lawn mowers, dirt bikes and the dog.

They have been hysterical to watch.

Those are big birds. Do they fly south in the winter? Sam

I started feeding the birds year round and have been surprised at the variety I see in the summer compared to when only feeding in the Winter. I haven't seen any chickens yet though!
Great photo.

I can't take the credit for the photo. My Wife has the eye to frame a photo when she takes it.

Use a wire coat hanger to attach to the eye hooks....bend thewire ends in a coil after you cut the wire and it will work great. Love those cute chicks ..your rooster's twin brother lives at my house...LOL
