Most of the year my birds roam the fields and edge of the woods right behind the house. When the foxes are rearing their young we have to close them all up, as I have lost up to 7 birds in one day.
This is a corner of the greenhouse coop with our small flock of OHIKI. We are not allowed to build a solid structure becasue we live so close to the Natural Park of Rocchetta Tanaro, so I made a 9 compartment coop in the form of a fiberglass greenhouse. It serves the purpose well, but extra care has to be taken to ventilate and shade the house in the summer.
My son also has Shamos. Please click here to see other shots of ours and others' Shamos.
