    lost 2 today

    I lost two of my girls today. Both have no heads and parts of the entrails are gone. But one is missing alot of meat on her as well. It almost looks like two different kind of kills. I sure hope not because that means I have two predators to catch. *Sigh* My son is getting his ' special bait'...

    ducklings

    We did pretty good for our 1st set of duck eggs. I set 11 and 10 hatched. We did have one that passed 2 days later. I think that Kyle tried to 'help' it hatch when he shouldn't have. poor kid felt so bad.

    It finally happened (long rant, sorry)

    I always considered myself lucky because I hadn't had to deal with any preditors. Not anymore. The neighbors boxer went THRU our electric fence and was caught by another neighbor killing one of my Black Austrolorps. She heard the neighbor yelling for the dog and looked over. She watched her get...
