We have them around here. As a kid my family nicknamed them Daddy Long Legs spiders cuz they are all legs w/ a tiny body. Don't know what they're really called but they're fairly harmless.
We never see them outside (probably easy for the hens to catch) but once in a while we find one in the...
A friend of ours rescued a loose Jack Russell ~ same day it got into his chicken run & killed all 5 of his hens. Hope this JR is good. Love the heart... what are the odds that mark happens?
We have two 5-yr-old Silkies too. One nice thing is they usually stop laying & should never go broody again. Although, once we had a 6-1/2 yr Silkie Mini who still layed but she passed from ovarian bleeding tumor ~ her reproductive system was always messed up... I'm surprised she lived so long ~...

Does the flax help increase appetite too? Half the problem w/ moulting is the bird is so miserable & frumpy it doesn't eat well right at the time it needs the nutrition most during moult.
That's why we like Missing Link cuz it seems to help w/digestion/appetite so the bird gets nutrition when...
Good boy, Ollie❣️
We caught a big one again in the Kensizer trap this morning! Rats do make very horrible screechings! That makes 3 this week ~ a record for one week here.
