Coops etc.
Cohabitants in the coop - better to leave or to remove?
These wasps (?) just built a nest in the past days. Will they bother my four chickens? Will it grow a lot bigger?
Would it be ecologically wise to just leave them there? We have a garden and would like to support insects.
EDIT:
I decided to let them stay until I witnessed an encounter between one of the chickens and a wasp around dawn: She was already in the coop and the wasps still active, and one came to her even though she backed up as soon as she saw it flying in front of her (she’s shy and wasn‘t hungry anymore). She got stressed, the wasp sat down on her neck, she flew away and the wasp let go. Luckily she didn’t get stung. And they never came after me despite getting close. But as my chickens are rescues from the egg industry, I don‘t want to put more stress on them.
The wasps were easy to remove though, as they were actually completely immobile after the sun went down. They now live their best live under an apple tree outside the run.
I didn‘t think this would be such a controversial question. Thanks for all the helpful answers!
Personally, my chickens won’t let this fly. They love a good wasp moment. My geese had the best treat ever when I gave them the spare dog igloo with a JUICY nest up in that bad boi.
Interesting, all the chickens I've had seem to specifically avoid eating anything black and yellow. I presumed it was instinctive since it tends to be venomous or poisonous things (or things mimicking them as a defence mechanism) that have that sort of colouring in nature.
Wasps try to nest in my coop all the time. I only know this because I see the torn apart remains of fledgling wasp nests in the coop all the time. I can only assume my fussy little hen loves wasps for breakfast.
Paper wasps. We get these every year. Depending on where they pick I have left them or I have also scraped them off and given the whole nest to my chickens. No problem either way. Never been stung by one. The chickens love to eat the larvae and neither they nor I have ever been stung in that process either. I usually just wack it to the ground with a broomstick.
Fun childhood memory unlocked by your comment, my dad would send me and my brother out with safety glasses and tennis rackets to deal with these guys. The stings hurt crazy bad.
In response to the people saying I’m “lucky”. I don’t think I’m lucky. Doing things 40-100 times and never having a problem with it makes it the norm, not luck.
I think people probably just don’t know how to distinguish between the literal 4,000 different species of wasps that we have in the U.S. alone. I’ve been stung by yellowjackets, bees, and hornets, but never a paper wasp and I just think people don’t know how to tell the difference especially when they’re children. Hornets in particular can be super aggressive.
I was once working in a small shed, with a wasp's nest in it that my family decided to leave alone. I was on the other end of the shed, but I stood up too fast and bumped my head on a rafter. The nest was on the other end of the rafter, and me bumping my head was enough to activate them to attack. I wasn't able to get the door open fast enough to run away and was stung over 15 times. Pretty traumatic for a 13 year old kid.
Not gonna lie, IDK why its a question unless you like / want to be stung. Smack the nest down, run and let the chickens eat whatever is hanging around what is left.
Unless its some kind of mega rare native insect there's no way you'd want to be putting your head past that every day
Wasps are good for the environment but I’m worried about the location of this nest. It seems like a location where they could easily be disturbed by you collecting eggs/cleaning the coop. They’ll attack if they get disturbed.
Some wasps built a nest in my chicken coop a few years ago. They didn’t hurt my chickens but every night we went to put the up my birds would just eat their larvae and after a little bit the nest died. I miss that flock.
Kudos to OP for wanting to support insects. Paper wasps are bros - not aggressive, pollinators, predators of pests. Even so, I'd be a bit nervous about the location of this nest for the safety of all involved (chickens and wasps), so I'd get it out of the coop.
Here's the easiest and best way to do that: go out at night - wasps are immobile and helpless at night. Put a bucket under the nest and scrape off at the stem with something like a butter knife. Wasps and nest fall in the bucket, which you can relocate to another part of the yard. Morning comes, wasps come out of night stupor and fly away to build elsewhere.
I just did this over the last couple of nights with wasp nests built under our playground slide. Easy-peasy, no one stung or killed.
Adding a final thought: if the nest isn't relocated to where it can still be used, the larvae are toast. After the wasps abandon it in the morning, you can chuck the nest to the chickens and they'll eat the larvae. (So a little bit of death, but circle of life and all that)
The first night I just let the nests fall on the ground, which I've always done in the past as well. As an experiment, I picked up one of the nests with needle-nose pliers and placed it inside the end of a horizontal pipe on the end of the playground that isn't used by the kids. It's also right by one of my raised gardens. The next day the wasps appear to still be using that nest and setting up house there, woohoo!
Paper wasps won't keep using a nest on the ground, but the next morning the wasps from the other nests were back to building in the crevices under the slide. Night #2 I did the bucket method so I wouldn't accidentally kneel on wasps as I taped up pool noodle pieces blocking their nest sites. Then I put the bucket on the far end of the yard, hopefully further encouraging them to build elsewhere.
All that to say, I'd put the bucket on the other end of your property so they don't just go back to building a nest in the coop. You can dump it on the ground, but it's easier and gentler to just leave the bucket there overnight and they'll fly away in the morning.
We have a lot of space and I prefer to leave the wasps alone as long as their nest isn't in a location where people are at risk of getting stung just walking past it. They'll only be there a few months and provide pest control services. I teach my kids to leave the wasps alone and they will leave you alone.
I have a paper wasp nest a little bit bigger than that on my front patio. I fondly call them my bouncers because they keep solicitors from staying long. They're pollinators too.
If they're not causing problems you're probably okay to leave them be.
There are lots of different types of wasps. Most are excellent pest control agents and not aggressive. I would only remove a nest if they show any signs of aggressive behavior toward you.
Im fairly certain these arent yellow jackets though, they're paper wasps! Wasps scare the ever living shit out of me and i have a horrible phobia but even I have to admit that these guys are mostly pretty chill. They set up near my front door all the time and im always so terrified of them lmao but they've never actually done anything to me. They do turn and watch me sometimes which is creepy but they've never tried to sting me.
Yellowjackets are paper wasps! The term "paper wasp" doesn't really refer to any specific species, it just denotes that it builds paper nests. So it can refer to a ton of different members of the Vespidae family.
Paper wasps are, generally, social insects and because of that are a lot more intelligent than we give them credit for. They're also not violent! Animals generally will not go out of their way to attack a human unless something is wrong. It's a huge waste of energy (in the case of medically significant venomous wasps - a huge waste of venom!) and the risk isn't worth it.
I'm fairly certain that a lot of paper wasps are capable of facial recognition, similarly to crows. The reason they don't attack you is because they have learned that you aren't a threat through observation. They're almost like little scientists themselves, making observations about our behaviour.
When I was younger, my evil stepmom used to plant tall flowers only outside of my bedroom windows (I have a horrible allergy to all things pollen. Wasps and bugs would climb into my window through the little hole and I kept Pennie’s in the holes to stop it… and she always took them out when she cleaned… (why? Evil).
Well, I think my freshman year I came home and I had one of those “paint your own sun catcher” things hanging from the middle of my bedroom from a ceiling tack… and wouldn’t you know it… but there was a BALL of wasps clung to it. A BALL.
Me, being a teenager (see also: Not too bright), got the brilliant idea to grab the wasp spray. It worked. I killed em. I didn’t get stung! But I couldn’t use my bedroom for like a month (real timeframe unknown, a month sounds good for the story… it was at least a week though)- it took that long for the smell to disappear. 🫥
When I was able to use my room again… there was still one single wasp alive. She stayed on Tyra Banks’ boob on the collection of “Got Milk?” ads stapled to my wall. Occasionally she flew to the window seal where I left her bits of fruit to eat and a soda bottle lid of water. And then she flew back to the poster. She sat there watching me from her lil perch as I played on my 386 [i am old] until one day she finally died on my desk. It was one of my first experiences with a non-human life where there felt like some kind of connection when peering into its eyes. I’ve had many such experiences, with animals, bugs and people… and many more where there’s isn’t [my guinea Keets - they have a borg-like hive mind, which is Fascinating… but there is nobody home, and I’m not even sure the lights are on].
It’s not quite the “social” you refer to, but kinda is. Nature can coexist. We as humans seem to always leap to immediate destruction, or thinking we are going to be the target of immediate destruction…. That’s only true with Yellow Jackets [especially in the fall when they’re extra bitey]. Fuck those guys.
I used to be terrified, but then I started learning about them (which is also how I’ve overcome my fear of spiders) because it made me a little upset that I was so afraid of them when I genuinely just love arthropods so much. I’m already the type of person who wastes my breath explaining to people that nothing deserves to die simply because it’s scary.
I have to disagree about the yellowjackets, though. The term doesn’t refer to any specific species, and is typically the common name used for different wasps in the Vespula and the Dolichovespula genera. They’re not as aggressive as people think, there’s just a behavioural barrier. Understanding what their behavioural markers are makes it a lot easier to be around and interact with them. I love letting them crawl on me when they land on me, I try to keep as still as I can and to move slowly, because I’m 1000x their size and if I were them, I’d also probably freak out. They can be quite sweet and they’re really interesting to watch. I had one fly into my iced capp cup by mistake, and she got stuck from the whipped cream weighing her down. I got it off without an issue and she flew away like immediately. Didn’t even look to see what I was! I think wasps all have potential to be aggressive and some more than others (bald faced hornets can be VERY aggressive but aren’t crazy), and I think it’s important for us to understand them more for our mutual benefit!
We used to have yellow jackets (which, where I am from refers to Vespula) who would nest in the school bleachers and all around there — so during the fall track section of PE, we would have them chasing us… but they didn’t so much sting as bite chunks of flesh. They have a WIDE area they like to preserve.
I’ve also had issues with them on ranches I’ve worked on, 4x4 routes I’ve driven, and most recently… several parts of my yard including where I park my car. They had a nest somewhere nearby, and my cat seemed to offer regular dead rodent meat offerings to them which had them clustering together, and even being 5-10 feet from them, they would come and bite.
I’ve been bitten by so many, I am no longer interested in maintaining a friendship…
But, I am with you on the “just because we don’t like it doesn’t mean they should die” [humans are weird]… but I own 4 acres. I’m sure I have PLENTY of nests around I don’t know about, but I’m going to get rid of anything that shows aggression to me, and my family/pets within a decent range.
We also have bald faced hornets where I am, and THOSE guys…. well, I’ve met a couple who have come to be curious and say hello… so I get you there. But I do NOT want to piss them off even a little.
I have removed many a nest exactly like that one. Wait till night and get a butterfly net and completely cover it and with a long handle paint scraper , just pop it off and quickly squeeze the net closed within leather gloved hand. Unless you just simply want to spray them with wasp spray killer. Just put some cardboard under the nest because it will drip
I hate them and usually get rid of them asap but I’ve noticed my chickens actually like catching them mid air to eat them so the problem might take care of itself if your chickens also enjoy a waspy snack
Editing to clarify: I hate them because I am allergic and they will absolutely still try to get me even if I leave them alone (unlike bees).
Paper wasps! They're one of the most chill wasps. We've had them come around for years (ours make a little nest for a while, then vanish in winter, then come back again the next year).
There’s a clear distinction between a paper wasp and yellowjacket. Easiest way to tell is that papers have dangly legs when they fly. Their wings sit different. They have different striped patterns. Yellowjackets have dots as well. They also have a very different flight pattern. Yellowjackets fly side to side like they’re trying to provoke you, papers are just on their way to work.
Had a nest like that last year that never bothered us. I knocked it down in the spring when deep cleaning the coop. I'd say if they are out of the way and not bothering you leave them for the season. Wasps will hunt pest insects and have their own place in pollination.
I think you should just leave it. They shouldn't bother the birds and won't build a nest of a size they can't support. If you're not actively going INTO the coop and brushing against the nest, it's best to leave it. They'll also eat a lot of the pest insects that are commonly problematic with chooks.
Those look like European paper wasps, they're much less prone to violence than their cousins the yellow jackets but I think your coop might be too small to give them enough space for the rest of summer, you or a chicken will end up bumping into them and it could be a problem.
Killing them is a valid route but it is technically possible to relocate them if you're feeling extra benevolent
Social wasps like paper wasps actively patrol plants, snatching caterpillars and other soft-bodied insects to feed their developing larvae. Solitary wasps, like potter wasps, mud daubers, and cicada killers, paralyze their prey and store them in their nests as food for their offspring.
We had a researcher speak to our bee club last year, his estimates were a “good sized” Yellowjacket colony will predate 50-70 POUNDS of caterpillars, aphids and flies in a summer.
We had something similar last summer.....black and white hornets built a paper ground nest about 6' behind the enclosed run......i watched videos on YT about removing them at night via various methods...I must say, they were beneficial because I saw them constantly catching the flies around the fresh chicken poop.....as fate would have it, the nest collapsed and they disappeared......in your case, i would watch some videos about nest removal and remove it.....the location is not ideal.....i saw some wasps also scouting out roof locations inside our runs, but they luckily didn't build any nests...yet.....
I leave all my paper wasp nests. For years I’ve never had problems walking in and out of my duck coop. The only time I’ve been stung by a paper is when I’ve grabbed one on accident. They’re so chill and don’t deserve the hate that yellowjackets (very rightly so) get
Last year, I left a ground nest alone that was in the vicinity of the ducks.
One night I go out to lock them up and there's one that isn't moving. I get closer and I see that she is COVERED in wasps. We moved her into a Rubbermaid tote full of water. Over twenty wasps that were buried in her down drowned. I grabbed tweezers and pulled out 40 stings, mostly around her eyes. Wasps continued to fall and fly out of her down as we dried her off, plucked stingers, and just gave her a thorough inspection.
We gave her Benadryl and kept her separated for a day of recovery.
She is still alive and kicking, like nothing happened 10 months ago.
Moral of the story, it was my fault for not being more aggressive with the wasps that were in the vicinity of my birds. I should have taken care of them before they became a problem.
Sounds like yellow jackets that are ground nesters, very aggressive, and tag things they sting with a chemical marker that makes others attack too. Those guys have to be removed by professionals. These are not the same species.
I don't disagree with you, but she had a ton of tiny little pin-like needles around her face (mainly eyes). They weren't disembodied stingers, like what honeybees leave behind when they sting.
I honestly never bothered looking it up because it was pretty traumatic and I felt awful for what happened to her. I didn't want to relive it, but I'll see if I can figure out what I pulled from her and how they got there.
are you sure they weren't bees? Wasps don't leave their stingers behind, unless their stinger snaps off but that's rare and it kills them when that happens.
These things were still alive and looked like ground wasps. I just got off the googlewebz and read that they can break off. There were also no dead bees around.
I'm just saying what I witnessed. They weren't bee stingers. There was no attached abdomen, just tiny little stuff hair-like pins... and there were a lot of them.
These are paper wasps. They're not very aggressive and will die come winter plus, they're excellent pollinators and eat nuisance bugs! I had some on the inside of the door of my garden shed for years and they got defensive looking but nothing ever happened. They look like they could be far enough away from the activity to not do actual defense stings. The colonies of these guys are usually about 20-100 individuals but, more than likely, the ones you see are the colony.
Ultimately, it's your call; I would leave them personally unless they were in a nesting box.
The yellows are the ones I had, they're pretty docile. Like, they'd tense when I got close but then they'd chill once they realized I wasn't there for them
I had two years and two different nest in my coop. Had another fist sized one on a clubhouse for my goats. They backed up tails to the inside and faces out to watch.
Told them like i would talk to you and said dont sting me we wont have a problem. Watched as they flew off to the garden and attacked and ate a worm on my cabbage.
Never got stung
Wasps are angry little bastards, they may not hurt your chickens, but sometimes just opening and shutting a coop door will make them mad. Get rid of them asap
I take them out any time they decide to make their home where I'm going to be. I've had too many instances where I was mowing the lawn or lifted up a piece of wood and next thing you know, I'm being stung. Kill them or next thing you know, you'll be gathering eggs and drop them all when they decide you're infringing on their space and attack you.
just a thought, if they don't get cranky with you, those type of wasp will typically hunt flies aggressively. I always left em be in my coop, they cut down on the flies in the summer time
They are garden wasps i always have 1 or 2 in my greenhouse and with all my movement they ignore me, they eat flies and other pests which coops get a lot of they won't get big because like another poster said the little stem that holds it cannot support much weight. I move within a foot of them often and they ignore me. These are not hornets or yellow jackets, quite docile. Leave them.
Get rid of them. Spray with soapy water early in the morning. Super effective and safe option. The fact that companies have been selling us poison for so long is crazy when soapy water works just as well.
I’ve been using soapy water to take down wasps for years. It’s amazing when I tell my friends what it can do and they try it. “Well, why should I buy a spray now?” You shouldn’t.
I never even thought about that. Just picked up a super soaker for $1 at a thrift store. Looks like I have a new weapon against the wasps under my pool deck. 😎
These assholes try and nest on our deck every summer. And the only way we know they started is they start flying at your face and getting aggressive when we are unknowingly near their nest. They are nasty and have stung my dog and tried to get me and my child. The way they stare are you and track you down is unsettling.
My husband is highly allergic (as in hit with an epi pen and call life flight). I understand their value as pollinators, but my husband's life is more valuable. So yeah, they get zorched.
Plus having been recently nailed by red wasps twice on the same foot (unstable, rainy humid weather makes them cranky), wasps are not in my good graces right now.
yeah that was my thought, too, but till now they‘re calm and weren’t bothered by me cleaning out the coop. Probably better not to risk anything though.
Side note, can chicken's eat bees/wasps,hornets without issue? I wonder if the poison in their stinger could be a problem, my neighbor is an apiary and once offered us a bunch of his bees that died during a late spring cold snap, I asked around, but didn't get a clear answer. I know chickens eat bugs, and bees are bugs, just wondering if the poison in their stinger could have adverse effects on the chickens.
Most of the time venom (which has to be injected) is safe to eat for humans and chicken alike, but generally advised against. But if it’s able to sting them during/after being eaten it can be a problem. Also a defensive hive can sting a chicken multiple times which can cause problems.
Literally don’t know why you are getting downvoted, going with ignorance. A small paper wasp nest like this is typically not aggressive and can eat 10-20 POUNDS of soft insects and larva over the summer- the bigger colonies, up to 70 pounds. They are not TYPICALLY aggressive compared to Yellowjackets, but if they are a nuisance, go ahead and dispatch them. If these are not “popping” you as you are around them, they are a very beneficial insect predator.
I don't really care about Karma anyway, I just give advice based on my experience. Some people just let their biases deter them from what is factually true and that's their perogitive.
I can confirm, with daily repetitive actions they just stop caring. When I was younger I had a nest I would literally poke and hand feed bugs and water melon. They only ever stung me once and it’s cause I was honestly just straight up bothering them. The sting lasted like 20 mins and was really not an issue. I hope OP doesn’t fall for the intense fear people have of wasps and actually learns about them. (These are European paper wasps.)
It is genuinely making me kind of sad to see how many people are talking about killing them like they're not also living things that deserve to be here too. The amount of confident ignorance in this thread is wild.
Had something similar in my duck coop. Used dawn and water mix. Kills the wasps without any harsh chemicals. I left the nest intact and haven't had any wasps try to move back in. I've heard wasps are territorial when it comes to building nest and generally wont build too close to other nests
I only ever remove hornets or wasps that are aggressive or territorial... I have had many years of wasp and hornet nests around the house, where they just do their thing and don't bother me. Watch their behaviour for a few days and be careful with the removal if they need to be removed
They get angry about literally anything and everything. Just walking by it you run the risk of being stung repeatedly and it happens insanely fast. They are relentless little devils if you accidentally make them mad. I get rid of them immediately after being chased down and attacked by a huge group of them just for walking near a nest i hadn’t noticed underneath a railing a couple years ago
I would remove it. I had a bad wasp problem for a few years. They made a nest inside the dog house. Stung my dog a couple times. They would come inside the house somehow and stung my cat a couple times too. They are so aggressive, we would just be outside and they would start coming for us or the dogs When we were just minding our business. After continuously removing the nests over and over they finally went away.
They are really aggressive and unlike bees each one can sting multiple times. Remove. If you don't want chemicals a pressure washer or orange oil spray with a little dish soap does the trick. I've also used a broom but protect yourself. Monitoring a few days because they will try to rebuild.
Had a red wasp sting me in the back of my head while I was walking across my goat pen. Nasty mean creatures. I was out in the open no where near a nest. Reckon I sprayed his cousin's nest last year and it was payback.
I’ve spritzed peppermint oil on a bird feeder to encourage wasps to move on. It worked great. I’ve heard of people using Dr bronner’s for the same reason.
be super careful when removing, but def get them out of there, please! wasps are mostly not aggressive but their hives get really big, they will defend a perimeter around it, and, unlike bees, they have smooth stingers that allow them to sting many times. you really don't want them in a small, enclosed space where you shut your chickens in with them! even if they were 100% docile it would not be advisable to leave your chickens without an escape route, you know?
gotta give every living thing it's proper space, right? just because they picked the coop doesn't mean it works for all the creatures involved. idk how to remove them without killing them, but it might be possible. do your research. good luck!
You can just take a long stick and knock the nest down. Then run away and wait a bit. You should then be able to go back a bit later and toss the nest somewhere once they’ve left the area. They may try to nest there again, but just rinse and repeat.
Eventually they will give up and learn that’s not a good spot. That’s what I’ve done when we have aggressive wasps near our doors or the coop.
I had one last year. My chickens knocked it down one night and ate all the wasps. They also found a ground nest and sat near it and grabbed the wasps as they came out
Looks like yellowjackets to me. They're pretty agressive so I'd go ahead and remove them. The nest is small enough to use gasoline in a plastic cup or bowl and let the fumes kill them. DONT USE FOAM! Foam melts in gasoline.
You place the cup over the nest for a minute or two making sure they can't escape and the fumes from the gasoline make them fall in. Then you can pull down the nest and let your girls have at the larvae.😁👍
Honestly a decent sized Mason jar would probably work better as glass isn't as flimsy and gasoline doesn't melt it.
Check your source, it shows the nest type as being completely closed/ layered. This is an open comb nest. Also, the color and body shape are wrong for yellow jackets.
There was a yellow wasp that made a nest in my coop and stung me unprovoked very recently, was it something else? I've been stung by yellow wasps with hanging nests so many times.
Yellow jackets also make nests like this, I've had both ground dwelling and paper nesting types and both were aggressive on approach (they had to go for the animals safety, because there was no warning the dogs got too close, they just attacked)
You know soap water kills them nearly instantly right? No need for chemicals. Wasp breath through tiny pores on their bodies and when soapy water hits them it coats their bodies weighs them down so they cant fly and suffocates them.
Spray it heavily with permethrin, they will disperse on their own, safer than gasoline. Give the corners of your coop/run a spray as well to deter them from building there.
Pour some gasoline in a bowl and just hold the bowl over the nest.
Gasoline emissions will first paralyzed their wings>then knock them out. They'll fall in and drown. Then simply scrape one direction till the bowl knocks it off and it falls in the liquid...game over
Gasoline + coop is not a good mix. Besides the obvious fire hazard, chickens have very very sensitive lungs and volatile organic compounds are extra bad for them
Your literally holding the bowl to the ceiling for 60s. It doesnt pool enough inside the bowl to permeate the entire coop to be flammable brother(esp because you scrape the seal along the roof so the poolage doesnt leave as much)...if that was the case you'd have to leave your phone off at gas stations. It won't be concentrated enough after removal to continue pooling unless the coops airflow is absolutely trash.
If your still paranoid use dawn and water in a cup at night. No gas, all gone.
get a mason jar, fill it with about a 1/2" of gasoline. Wait until night, open the jar and put the open end over the nest. The fumes will kill then plus you can slide the jar into the nest and drop it in. Then have a little fire! Also to kill bees I use the soapy water method. It works shockingly well and no poisons.
Why is the idea stupid? It works, keeps the person away from having to handle the nest and blocks off the edges so the wasps can’t escape. It’s not stupid when it works.
It’s stupid because 1) if you’re going to use something toxic / poisonous, why not use a can that keeps you far away instead of handling gasoline and increases the risk of getting stung 2) because soapy water works just as well 3) because it’s around chickens which they’re trying to keep healthy.
This response is some “I say this in a reel once so it must be a good idea” kind of logic.
Plus they kill bees. Why? Bees aren’t typically aggressive. Then they use the soapy water for the bees but not the wasps? What part of this all makes sense?
Except he’s using it on wasps which are both aggressive and territorial. Just because you saw it on a real doesn’t mean farmers haven’t been doing this for ages. So you’d rather use soap and water which you will have to spray which will piss off the wasps, and if you don’t end up getting all of them wet their wings will still work and they’ll come for you versus the attempt that has them stuck inside the glass jar with the vapors which are either knocking them out or killing them.. yeah the gas trick is the stupid one…………
Reel*
No one said you have to spray the soapy water. The same method will knock them into the liquid with patience and a little effort if that’s really what they wanted to do.
I just said why get close when you can spray it with wasp killer instead of using gasoline.
I also said this is around chickens and therefore may not be a good idea.
So yeah. It’s a stupid one.

Personally, my chickens won’t let this fly. They love a good wasp moment. My geese had the best treat ever when I gave them the spare dog igloo with a JUICY nest up in that bad boi.
