    Bought an Eggcubator through Ebay about a month ago. When it arrived, I tried to set it up, but it wouldn't do anything. I contacted Eggcubator through the Ebay website and told them about it. They assured me that they would send me a new power cord on the following Monday. I had tested the...

    Dog-proof Coon trap---Success!

    Now that the weather has finally begun to warm up a bit, the coons and skunks are beginning to roam. Last week, a coon killed about 3 - 4 of my chickens in the barn.

    Coons got some of my quail

    Last night, a family of coons came by my quail cage, and killed 3 of them. I have them in a cage with 1 x 1 wire, and they were able to pull 2 of them through the holes in the wire. One was still inside, but it's head and legs were eaten off. They also got into a nest of chicken eggs that...

    Oh oh, Trouble for somebody!

    One of my friends told me about his experience the other day. It seems that an acquaintance called him and asked him (my friend) if he'd like to see a wolf. My friend went to the tiny town where the guy was, and sure enough, there was a dead timber wolf in the back of his truck. My friend...
