fuzzi's Chicken Journal

[Wyorp Rock]

Mine was a red fox. Very pretty and cute.

They are pretty and cute, but they love chicken...

I have both Gray and Red here, so likely you do too. The Gray are a little more timid around humans it seems, but I do catch a glimpse of him/her sometimes.

Coyote...we have a lot of those.

There are red and gray foxes here as well as coyotes.

The grays I see out in the open all times of the day. They run to the woods if they see a human.
I know the reds are here too but I have not seen one in 20+ years.

I've heard the foxes here, screaming like a woman in distress. My son has seen a coyote, my dad saw red fox kits playing by the side of the woods, next to his RV. And I saw a gray fox on the way to work one morning, distinctly remember the white tip on its tail.

The feral cats around my house stay close or they disappear.

Day 19 for Martha...for the first 3 eggs.


Guess I should dig out the chick waterer.

Some of my broodies eggs have started hatching day 19-20.

I told my dh I would make him breakfast, guess I need to get going.

I'm "tarred" from yesterday

Me too. Going to take it slow today.

Well, so much for taking it easy...

1. Found the chick waterer, cleaned and filled with filtered water, ready for chicks
2. Convinced dh to let his bicycle go, after 25 years of not riding it
3. Took bicycle, some rusted/bent tomato cages, and a broken antenna to the dump (bicycle was claimed by someone in line)
4. Went to Lowe's, came home with wooden stakes for my squash
5. Stopped at farmers' market, came home with a quart jar of honey
6. Put 12# of dog biscuits into gallon zip bags

I brought the compressed bag of peat moss closer to the new gardens, am thinking about going back outside to dig holes and work some into the new beds.

I have been soooo busy with work. I'm also very stressed out with the amount of work that I need to do. No resting for the weekend. I have to do at least some work work on Sunday.

Today we have already scheduled to raleigh to pick up some good quality meats. But yesterday and this morning we managed to put hardware cloth on the majority of the run, at the base.

This afternoon we need to keep working on the run.

Inky (and you can see the run a little bit in the back)

This was March when we celebrated their 3 year birthday (5 of them)
