egg thief! Amazing how smart they are. Beware and close the door.

What kind of con are you running? ;)

Yep. I parked on the leeward side of the building. As I walked around the corner, here comes the wind. Umbrella goes down into the wind and my shoes fill up with water. Fun day with wet socks!

We are getting rain. The sideways kind. That is always special. It started at bedtime with a very impressive lightning storm. I'm grateful the ditches aren't full and the roof is still inplace. Hope everyone has a good stormday.

Grandpa would be proud of that one. How big?

We need new blood for the flock. My buddy with the other rooster just got with me and I'm not willing to deal with chicks either. So maybe a fall hatch? I can hope someone goes broody so I don't have to chase chicks. While I'm not thrilled with the idea of feather footed Brahmas in this...

I don't remember. I did not candle this hatch and after the last chicken hatch with all clears and one rotten, I wasn't up for candling. I misplaced my good flashlight too, so it wasn't easy with the little, dark quail eggs.

Benadryl works for more than putting kids to sleep on long car rides. unless this is a scheduling issue. If it is, it can be fixed. Our friends gave us a quick flu last week. I slept for 12 hours straight and still feel bad. But that is how I knew I caught something. If I am asleep, don't...

Yes, be confident and able to practice. The problem with the catapult is getting enough cows. :lau

agree. If you target an entry or create a funnel to know what is using the entry, the snares can be limited. The use of cameras will show you what is using the path. I agree with your solution of putting up fencing. Deer fencing and then reinforce that for the rock chucks. That allows...

Verify the ordinance states "gun" which specifies explosive force. gun /ɡən/ noun 1. a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise. But arrows, slingshots and dart guns are...

The roaming dogs don't go after the woodchucks? Since they dig, follow the fencing guidelines and bury fencing 18" down around everything you want to keep them out of. Digging in your gravel won't be fun.

Someone rang the dinner bell? Well, like the Queen said, off with their heads. Put the quail cage back on the remaining plants. They will return now that they've found a buffet. How are they getting into the greenhouse? Open door or digging in? I hope they aren't going through the walls.

Sounds like a beautiful setup. Pictures when you have it where you want to show it off. I keep my chicken, quail and dog feed in metal trashcans in convenient locations. Plastic gets chewed through. Metal gets pooped on. Thankfully, I haven't had any issues since I went with the steel. We...

Good morning! 80°F and 90% humidity makes for a thick air. Forecast for a high of 87°F and clouds. No rain. Maybe.
