This is a very hard hobby to have at times.

Not letting my guard down but no sign of the dog returning. The first batch of replacements is due to hatch on Thursday - only got 5-6 out of those. Put another batch in a week ago - those eggs are more fresh so should see hopefully more than a dozen.

This fall it will unfortunately be time to reconfigure the fence and add some cross fencing in prep to get a Anatolian Shepard.

4 replacements hatched on Friday, here they are with Abe and Gary coming to investigate. Also picked up 3 americauna pullets to join them in the brooder and teach them

Today I bring better news.

The snares worked PERFECTLY I caught a nasty old big male coyote who came in last night. He has since been dealt with. No birds injured.

I will reset the snare this evening - probably going to keep them up 24/7/365. Also the babies are doing well.

All right! Great job!
