I follow that exact line of reasoning. That’s why I can never root for the Lakers. Go Spurs Go!

Oh, they are within a completely enclosed area. It's got a house for them, a nesting area, and a little ramp down to an enclosed "outdoor" space.

This is the model we got:

They resemble predator eyes if you think predators look like two leds spaced about 2.5 inches apart. They come in green and red.

That is a cool chicken enclosure-it is more kit-like and fancier than the rougher ones people out here knock together, but the basic look is just the same.

That isn’t what predator eyes look like to me-except maybe a Bigfoot, or Chupacabra, but animals might not know that-do they work?

It was a kit. We actually ordered a smaller one, but they didn’t have them in stock so they gave us this size for the same price.

They blink at night. The chickens are alive. Whether they actually deter anything is unknown.

Very cool. Much fancier than the coop I had in college.

That is from the manufacturer’s website, not a picture of mine.

Does that look like Pennsylvaina? I think those are palm trees in the background.
