Anybody looking for Ancona ducklings or Mottled Javas, I will be downtown Sunday morning at the market and can bring them.
We're not actually having a booth that day, just going for orientation.
That is what I got- dog proof traps. We used marshmallows so we don't accidentally catch the cats.

I used a dog tie-out steak to secure it to the ground. Kind...
Nice! Do you have a quarry by you? Here we can go to the Bledsoe quarry or Sequatchie concrete and they will fill your bed for super cheap. A load of gravel is like $10.
I had a coon come up and grab a hen right out of the garden in front of me- before it was even 4pm yesterday! I was able to pick up a branch somewhere on my way into the woods after it, and whacked the little bugger til he let the hen go. I called the wildlife resources dept and they advised me...
My "duke's dog proof coon trap" finally arrived. I have heard great things about them. We can't do electric fence because of the geese, so I am going to give the traps a try.
Those traditional hav-a-heart traps did not work at all. They'd trip them and drag them off into the woods and roll all...
The same thing happened to me last month. We have had so much rain that the coops are sinking and the coons were able to dig under them where they never could before. 6 years they never got in until now.The ground just will not dry out.
I lost 14 English Orpingtons and have a goose with one leg...
Ooops- I meant 1 Million! We get construction liability when we are taking down barns and stuff, but to sell a $2 dozen eggs...it wouldn't pay for itself. I don't have that many eggs really, and they were concerned about what category to put us in, so we went with furniture.
We're going to sell farm furniture. I was going to do eggs and produce as well, but they wanted me to get $1,000,000,000 insurance. I don't have THAT many eggs to unload.
