Allison,

 

If they don't work out, just give me a call

 

I do not know what magic force was looking over my critters yesterday, but wow ... It could have been complete and total carnage.

 

I was at the fair with my mom, niece, and daughter. My husband came home a little early, 5:30 or 6, and noticed the gate to the coop was open. The dogs have free access to the yard during the day; when we free range the girls we lock the dogs in the house and put the bunny that lives with the chickens in her hutch. I have 2 dogs. One is a rhodesian ridgeback with a prey drive out the wazoo. He especially loves wild rabbits - I've been pulled over bushes and down hills (on my stomach) when he was after something. He broke a tooth chasing a cat into an iron fence. The other dog is more mellow, but prone to over-involvement and snapping. She's fence-fought with my broody, because how dare that chicken challenge her!

 

So, the yard. He grabbed the ridgeback, who was inside, and called the other dog into the house. Then he went outside, bracing himself for what was to come ....

 

Happy chickens. 3 adults? Check. 4 half grown birds? Check. Two unmolested broodies on their nests? Check. One VERY happy bun near the rose bush? Check. Everyone was fine. Relaxed, doing their things. HOW??? Crazy amazing.
 

Yesterday I left my property for about 4 hours and when I came back someone had been in my yard and had put a baby bunny into a bucks cage.  My Dad is at the home depot buying cable to make cable locks for all of the rabbits cage doors.  I have been dealing with this "prowler" all summer.... I even have reason to think he/she has been in my house a few times.  Really creepy, hoping its just kids.  Hope we can catch whoever it is.... really freaks me out to have someone messing with my animals.

that is really freaking creepy i would put in some video cameras and see who it is
 

Thats what we are doing.  I used to be a bit lax with shutting windows, etc. before a few weeks ago and then I started noticing wierd things - at first I thought I was imagining it.  I finally realized that I wasn't imagining it when I came home to find a rolled up ball of peanut butter on a windowsill.... I know I didn't do it and I live along in my house!  So I changed my locks and did a few other things to hopefully keep the person from breaking in again.  Thing is they never take anything, but leave little clues that they were here.  One day I came home and my computer screen was up and it times out and you have to press a key on the mouse or the keyboard to bring it up.  So unless its a computer and peanut butter loving ghost...  I have been using my house alarm after the peanut butter thing.

 

We had chickens taken from predator-secured pens at our place on 2 occasions. Both times we had someone coming for chicks, and then seeing and wanting birds that were not for sale. They came back and took them. Now we never meet people at the house. 

 

HAPPY JULY 4th
