So, that makes 2 he is going to write and publish, then. He already has plans for Gucci's book (I think he just needs to work on getting it published.) 🥰 🥰
We will have a famous author in our midst. Need to keep anything he has sent you & signed - could make you a millionaire in the future!
I gave mouth to bill resuscitation once. (Young goose). Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. I think something was really wrong with it from hatch - it was a few weeks old, but was 'delayed' in growth - but ate and moved fine - until she didn't. :(
Is she a partridge rock? Or a mix?? Similar markings (from this angle), but the butt floof seems a bit dark.....??????
Great picture - you should submit it for the caption contest!
You must have been closer than she likes when you took that pic - I see she is in 'poofed protective mamma' mode and eyeing you! What a great broody mom pic!!!:love
My experience with a fox is it grabs one & carries it off. They have never killed and left one, and never taken more than 1 at once except one time when mom had older kits (4) with her and was teaching them to hunt and they got 2 before I chased them off. That time the kit dropped theirs, but...
It might be a bit exposed - but it looks like a really comfy nest spot...and would hold the nest/eggs well given the sides of the bucket. Gotta give him some credit!;)
