    need to vent....

    hate to say it, but I have a similar mind to PickyChickie. What can you get that's more annoying than the roo and legal, too. I'd get that thing (chainsaw, hotrod, something REALLY stinky) and wear her out with it.

    I have lost 13 birds in 3 nights!**UPDATE** POST #1

    So sorry to hear about your babies. I,too, live in florida. (gainesville). Be prepared for a much bigger predator than you are expecting. although fox is very likely-coyote would be my guess. I've lost 2 hens to them right at dusk, 5 minutes before i was coming to put them up for the night. I...
