I just pulled 6 little bowlers out of the hatcher. An hour or so ago, there was nothing in there but pipped eggs but it seems that the turkey poults coordinated and hatched at the same time lol. I also checked on the zipping duckling since I hadn't seen any change in a while. It must have died halfway through zipping :( I'm hoping that the other 9 ducklings are stronger and hatch out.

I don't have a trap big enough. Mine are sized for squirrel and rabbit. The kittens are a month old at most. They're just starting to get their legs under them good. There's another litter close in age that I put the one I found with. Mama didn't care that she had an extra kitten. The pups, I don't really know. They're less than 6 months and I've never seen them with a female. It's always the male with them if they have an older dog with them at all. I think there's 3 of them if they all survived since the last time I saw them over a month ago. The thing that kills me is that these pups and the male aren't mutts. They're all American Gatormouth Pitbulls. They're the favorite around here. No one has even tried to catch them. They've managed to escape rabies so far.

I'm wondering if there may be a way to keep them coming back, but have them leave the cats and chickens alone. I could probably tame them the same way I've been doing with the feral cats. Food and patience.
I dont know, just be careful you dont know what they ran into out there and if you have dogs or other critters they can give crap to you all
