Happy hunting, Mini Horses. I have had several massacres over the years; I think the worst was a total of 23 chickens and ducks. At dawn, just as the birds were coming down from roosting. A hotwire low, around the outside of the fence helps to keep 4-footed predators out, but you have to keep the grass off and it can kill things like frogs, snakes, and small birds.

No sign of fox last 3 mornings. I'm really tired of toting a gun! Not to mention it is loud when it goes off (few test shots). But glad that the actions I have taken have put that predator off for now. Moved some horses to an upper field -- activity will help -- did some extra mowing along fences & buildings for less cover for it and more visual for everyone else.

I mow regularly but my grass is SO thick and wildly growing that I can't keep it like a lawn. They are pastures, after all, and darned good ones after years of work! So much dew in AMs that I have to wear boots out to feed.

My predator this a.m. was yellow jackets. Ouch! I guess I must've got back in with one on my clothes because while I was nursing my wounds one hit my little dog. She was yelping and ran and hid under the bed.

All looks good EXCEPT for those 1/2 cooked eggs! I just cannot do a soft egg yolk...soft cooked whites... :eek:.

When I was about 7-8 my dad made me eat an egg that was served to me "over easy" and the white surrounding yolk was runny. Can remember gagging. Have never been able to eat more than well cooked since then. Probably why I don't eat many eggs!!!!! :idunno Know that I used to like some soft yolk but, not after that. Odd how such things stay with us. :old

Sure would jump onto the toast, sausage & bacon! YUM!

I snapped the pic before the eggs were completely done ( others were trying to take pics also so I got rushed) but they did get hard cooked.
