Chicken coop predators can literally destroy your flock overnight. Protecting your chickens is one of the main jobs your chicken coop has to perform-day and night. Here are some of the most common predators that you have to guard against.

Fox

"The fox in the hen house" is more than just an old saying. Foxes love to get into chicken coops. Generally, a fox will hunt at night, but they have been known to attack during the day on occasion.

The fox will not only kill your chickens but will also do its best to get at any eggs it finds. The best protection against the fox is a secure chicken coop with wire mesh over all of the windows, vents and outside run area.

Coyote

In some places, coyotes are a big problem. They like to hunt at night but will also hunt during daylight if the weather is cool or cold.

Coyotes can be strong and determined. In order to protect against them you must use sturdy wire mesh and solid gates they cannot push open or jump over.

Skunk

Many areas have skunks. A skunk will normally avoid attacking bigger chickens but will do its best to carry off chicks. Skunks can climb well, so make sure you cover all possible openings, even those above ground.

Hawk

A hawk can swoop down from the sky and carry off a chicken in no time at all. These are meat-eating birds, and they are very strong. Their hooked claws can easily penetrate the flesh of a chicken and hold it tight for several minutes as it makes its get away.

The only way to protect your flock from hawks is to install a netted roof over the chicken run area.

Raccoon

Raccoons are very common and very troublesome for many chicken owners. They love chicken and chicken eggs, and they will do whatever they can to get at them. Raccoons are also fairly smart, so do not underestimate them.

In order to protect your flock, make sure you have solid gates and doorways and good quality wire fencing. Remember, raccoons can climb, so you may need to install a netting roof as well to keep them from climbing up and over your wire fence.

Snakes

Snakes will normally try to get at the eggs and not the birds. The only way to keep snakes out of your chicken coop or hen house is to make sure you seal up all openings. An opening of just one inch is enough space for a snake to enter. Building your chicken coop or hen house off the ground will also help.

You do not have to be a victim of chicken coop predators. Applying a few extra security measures will go a long way in protecting your flock and their eggs.

Some Student Artists in the Ohio Schools Will Apprentice This Summer

With all the education budget cuts during the past decade and a renewed focus on reading and mathematics, the arts have seen many cutbacks and even programs eliminated. Though educators recognize that the arts is an important subject for graduating well-rounded students, the new government requirements do not leave any time or money to underwrite the programs needed. Thus, students who wish for a career in the arts are the ones now left behind, unless their parents recognize their children's talent and can afford to send them to private schools. Additionally, students with latent artist abilities may never recognize these skills, since they will not have the opportunity to experience the arts firsthand in the school environment.

In the Ohio schools, some students are being given a helping hand. Every June for one month, a few Ohio schools secondary students are given the opportunity to apprentice with a professional artist, actually working on a commissioned project.

The program is called Arts LIFT (Lola Isroff Fund for Teens). The Ohio schools teens are selected from the Akron high schools and spend three days at the Cuyahog Valley Environmental Education Center for a retreat. Then, they work under the direction and tutelage of the professional artist.

This year, ten Ohio schools teens will be apprenticed under Akron artist and professional ceramist Beth Lindenberger. After their three-day retreat, the Ohio schools teens will create large-scale, permanent ceramic sculptures at the University of Akron's Myers School of Art. The artwork will be installed at the Environmental Education Center at the end of June. A public reception follows in July at the Art School. Throughout the Ohio schools teens apprentice period, exhibits of artworks from their personal portfolios will be exhibited at the Art School in the Emily David Gallery, Folk Hall. Each student receives a stipend for their participation.

Arts LIFT won a Collaborative Project Award from the Akron Area Arts Alliance in 2005. The apprentice program was conceived and is directed by Elisa Gargarells, a University of Akron art education assistant professor.

The purpose of the program is to give Ohio schools students in Akron a chance to work with and see professional artists in the context of using their talents for hire in the real world. The program also seeks to connect Ohio schools students with institutions that deal with conservation and environmental issues, as well as real ecological efforts. The desired outcome is for Ohio schools students to see that their artistic talents are marketable as a career, as well as being able to help the community and environment.

Previous Ohio schools students in the program have created:

• Large hanging, stained glass butterflies for the Corbin Conservatory at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens in 2004;
• About 40 ceramic sculptures for the Crown Point Ecology Center's perennial garden in 2003; and
• An animal habitat-themed mural for the Akron Zoo's educational outreach van in 2002.

Though cutbacks and educational refocusing have severely hurt the arts program in the Ohio schools, some students in Akron are getting the encouragement they need and deserve.
