I started saving my bread ties a couple months ago.  I didn’t know exactly what I would do with them but they just looked like something I could re-use.

I was out in the chicken yard today moving chicks into another yard.   I needed to attach the smaller fence that is two feet tall (and has smaller holes) to the fence that goes around the chicken yard.  I had run out of the ties that I usually use which by the way, are a pain in the butt.  The name of them escapes me right now but it will come to me.  They are plastic and come in different colors and sizes.  You put one end thru the other and it catches if you have put it in on the right side…..which I do not do quite often.

Well, I thought of my bread ties and they worked perfectly.   I attached the one short soft fence to the outside fence quickly with a lot less cussing under my breath.

So now I am putting all my bread ties in an empty peanut butter jar with a lid and putting them in the shed with the tools and chicken supplies.  And best of all, they are free.
