I read in a poultry magazine to hang strips of sheer fabric at the top of the small coop door to keep the sparrows out, I did and it worked. It worked so well I thought it might help keep them out of the big doors too so I hung strips about 10" long along the top of the doors and so far so good, no sparrows skimming past my head! I was also feeding most of the sparrows in the neighborhood until I got one of those lever action Grandpa's feeders where the bird has to step on a small platform to open the feeder. It's a bit of a learning curve for the chickens but they figured it out, even the two ducks figured it out and my feed consumption has been markedly reduced. My husband figured out how to make a wood copy of the Grandpa's so now I have two. The original was a bit pricey but I'm sure I've recouped the price in savings. deodarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165027419423815374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-30935481814718627572016-02-24T19:06:35.869-05:002016-02-24T19:06:35.869-05:00I've got some handsome roosters for your chick...I've got some handsome roosters for your chicks.
