We couldn't kill her .. let her go a couple miles from the house.

If we had killed the possum, it'd be by way of .22. Done. Not sure why the conclusion of drowning was jumped to. I wouldn't wish that on any critter. However, hubs saw the litter and apparently IS as soft as I am. I got home and he had her loaded on the 4 wheeler. Needless to say, we moved...

Run is 6' tall encased in hardware cloth with a 2' apron. Double locked door. Costs got higher than we intended and we skimped on the ceiling. Figures, right. I had to go pick up DD from a study group. Hubs will deal with our captive when he gets to the house. I left it in his hands ... as he's...

Yes .. it's a danger to personal property therefore we have the right to kill it. Was considering having hubs take it up the road a few miles (where no one lives) and relocate her. Coop locked down tight and run will be getting a hardware cloth lid put on it. Would like a line of hotwire while...

Y'all. I had a broody hen that hatched out 9 adorable EE fluff balls for us on April 15. I shut mama bird and babies in our chicken run by themselves until the babies got a little bigger. Sunday night something climbed the post to our run, tore a 4" hole in the bird netting at the top and...

Horry County - have some blue and splash Easter Egger pullets that are 7-10 weeks old. Pretty birds, ya’ll .. any takers?

I got distracted this morning watching Mama chooking at food for her babies. So sweet. They'll be a week old tomorrow. While I'm standing there, the wind blew open the run door ... and the rooster took 3 girls out. I'd have left them out for the day, but we haven't fenced off the garden yet...

Age?

Careful .. it's an addictive pastime :gig

All 5 are here! :celebrate Two splash, three blue. Pretty confident already the last to hatch is a cockerel. Already has black spots in the down like the previous early showing cockerel from the last batch.
