Bawhahahaha!!!! Went outside and there is a big ol mean coon in the trap.
I'm sure I shouldn't be so excited, seeing as I took an oath to protect animals, but the coon is going to die. I am protecting my flock. Yup, that's it!
I swear to all things holy.... A coon is going to die tonight. Ballsy coon stole a hen last night some time between 8&9, when I go out to close doors. Stole her right off her egg pile!!!!!!!! Left feathers every where. Blood trail up two trees. She was my favorite broody :( I hunted for him...
Welcome!! I'm in New Braunfels, and am a fellow hound girl :)

I'm having a hatching problem. So far 5 have pipped, and have not made it. Did a partial egg-cropsy on the last one. Fully developed chick. But each egg has a good amount of dark caramel colored liquid at the pip. Are they pipping to early and drowning? These are shipped polish eggs. I keep...
I'm located in New Braunfels. Asking $10 for the 10 week olds, and $5 for the 5 week olds. I've got both smooth and frizzled roosters and pullets. I have blacks, blues, and the brown mottled. I just hatched a single white one. But I just got it out of the incubator, so I don't know if it is a...
