Yep. I have vowed not to sleep until he is caught... And probably a couple of days after just to make sure he's acting alone.

Well, I'm going to be up until the sun comes up drinking coffee and running out to check every time I hear a noise outside.

I'm a rabbit... "I'm late! I'm late for a very important date!!" :bunny I'm always in a hurry and always running late. My mom also used to always say I live in my own little wonderland too.

She's a really cute little mare! I'm looking forward to keeping up with your journey with her. :pop

Thanks for that advice, but I'd never drown an animal, thats too inhumane. Raccoon makes a very tasty pulled pork substitute though.

Congratulations! I hope you get to feeling better soon! :hugs

The giant or the nettles? Nettles actually make pretty tasty cooked greens with a little bacon grease, some onions and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Meat mutts. My chickens seem to enjoy it too when cut and carried to their coop, but they don't seem overly zealous about it when they are free ranging my back yard.

Get you some rabbits... They love stinging nettle. I dry it in my dried weed mix I make for winter feeding.

It's my fault. My "coop" is a repurposed dog kennel that has a tin roof and I wrap it in tarps in the winter. It looks like he weasled in behind the tarp at the roost end and reached in and grabbed a hen, she struggled and got away, everyone got scared and left the roost and huddled in the...

I like wildlife too... It's tasty. Put it in a crock pot, add some spices, bell peppers, onions and barbeque sauce and coon makes the best "pulled pork" sandwich you'll ever eat.

A raccoon killed one on my hens last night and injured another so baddly I had to put her down. I live in town, so my control methods are limited. I have a livetrap and I saved the remains from the raccoon kill and the innards of the hen I dispatched for bait. Do any of y'all have live...

I do my morning check while my coffee brews. This mornings check found raccoon destruction. I had one dead hen and one hen I had to finish off. By time I got done cleaning up the mess and skinning the hen I had to dispatch, my coffee pot had shut of... So insult to injury is microwaved...

Sa Same here. Three litters due March 2-3 and the weather is supposed to be cold and crappy all week. No sleep will be had this week. It looks like I'm on raccoon patrol now, so sleep wouldn't be an option even if the weather was good. :barnie

Nooooooooooooooooooo! A d@*** racoon!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE raccoons!!!!!!!!! My FAVORITE Hen?!?!? Why HER? Why ANY?!? This is TOWN, are there not enough trashcans and petfood bowls to raid?!? RIP Cashew and Crispy. You were good hens.

I hate February... It throws my whole system off. I breed on the 15th and the 30th just to make everything easy to keep track of... But nooo, February just has to be different. I guess I should switch to the 1st and 15th. Every month has a 1st.

New critters... YAY!!! :weee I can't wait until I find a bigger place outside the city limits so I can get goats! ...and sheep... and pigs... and alpacas... Don't forget to post pictures!

It is an odd time of year... But my girls are just really odd girls. :idunno

My dad sent me some pictures he took of me playing with the critters the other day...

Satins are soooo pretty. I have a couple of satin mixes. My neice also has a satin buck pet that I can't talk her into letting me send to freezer camp... He was a impulse rescue who ended up having a split penis so he can't be bred... It's a shame, because he has the prettiest brightest...
