Still trying to rehome the donkey. She almost killed one of my Black Copper Marans hens today. Why must she be so ornery!!!

There have been 2 home invasions in our small town in the past week, the Sheriff thinks it is some homeless guy. He has went into 2 homes and they were awakened with him standing in their bedrooms!!!!!!!! I hate things like this in our peaceful little town. I will be sleeping with my 2 attack dogs (Boston Terriers :/ ) and my huge muscle man husband (exaggerating a little bit ) and will tuck my Remington 20 gauge under the bed. I hope they catch this freak real soon!!!!!

On a better note, I sold 14 extra chickens today for $60 and half of them were roosters so I feel a sigh of relief. I didn't want to have to feed the misfit bunch over the winter.

Glad you were able to sell some chickens and get rid of extra roos in the process. :thumbsup Our BR roo, may end up gone if he can't stop bullying the hens. The chickens aren't laying age yet, but I have caught him many times beating up on the hens. We only have 8 chickens and 2 of those are roos. I actually had the BR roo sold about a month ago, but DH changed his mind about it. :rolleyes: The EE roo is prettier and I know I don't need 2 roos with only 6 hens (though I plan to try to hatch some eggs this spring) so one of the roos will likely end up having to be rehomed and if BR roo (which my DS named Blackbeard) doesn't straighten up he will be finding a new home.

Hopefully you can find a new home for your mini donkey. :fl

Had someone try and steal my truck a few years ago...he ended up leaving in an ambulance one I let the dogs on him. Its a farm criminals don't you think we have guard animals and will shoot you just to brake the boredom.

Thats good.
Had a few attempted break in on the farm but all were on the truck and none successful. One criminal ended up leaving in an ambulance with several bite injuries. Don't they know farms have guard animals or at least a farmer willing to use a gun to brake the boredom.

Hope they find this guy soon. Unfortunately its the sign of the times. We have many homeless walking around here. Shame!

But it would be a sorry day if one finds his/her way into my house. Between Jake, our 9mm and 22 that are ready... Always be prepared. :)

When I lived in the city, one night my DH was working third shift and I decided to sleep downstairs on the couch...I heard someone trying to jimmy the front door. Our 2 dogs ran barking to the door viciously while I peaked out the window to see someone running away. I freaked out and called the police who were there within a few minutes. Scared the crap outta me.

This guy has broke into 2 houses and he has targeted women home alone. He walks into their bedroom while they are sleeping and wakes them up!!! He has had a knife both times. He hit the first one and then got scared off by a car driving by, then the second lady got a phone call and tried to answer it and it scared him off. So even though I feel pretty safe in my house, I still didn't sleep very well last night. The thought of someone coming into my bedroom while I am sleeping just freaks me out. They still haven't caught the guy.

It sounds like he's practicing...gearing up his nerve to do what he intends to do. I hope that they do catch him before he follows through.

Here are some new pics of my Nubian girls. They are 5 months old now. They got to come in the back yard and have some supervised snacking. I had to keep them on lead ropes because they thought all my flowers looked mighty tasty!
