[TheForge] Fox news OT:

[Saint Phlip]

Well, my geese pretty well take care of themselves and the ducks. They
have a fairly large pen, so the 'coons can't reach them.

Kept losing chickens, though, and finally got them a solid coop. They
share it with the guineas. It's taken me a while, but I finally have
everyone convinced that when it gets dark, it's time to go into the
coop. Guineas prefer to be out, but I think they got tired of being
poked in the butt by a stick until they got off the fence and went
into the coop ;-) I still leave the roosters out. They've been
sleeping out since I let them out of the baby pen a couple years ago.
