I started with 10 golf balls. I counted them today. I got 5 left. So maybe that's 5 critters that won't be visiting my chickens again.
I got a roll of the .5 inch x 1 inch wire and I think I am going to just make a tap out of some of it.

This is the fastest way I have ever revived a sick chick. Thank you for sharing this method with everyone. My Grandmother taught me this when I was a child taking care of her birds. It realy works guys.
nice idea about the traps....but the snakes I got here... i really don't mind being cruel to them ... so far I have had 3 rattlers and 2 copperheads in my nest.
not a pleasing sound to come into the henhouse to gather the eggs and hear a rattle...........
I would never had thought of using a minnow trap. Around my place I got the prairie rattlers and copperheads. I have yet to see a non poisonous snake here and I been here for over 2 years.
I got a few cookie friends I guess I could give the rattlers too. They'd probably eat them.
Got me...
I placed a whole container of new golf balls in the nest themselves for the snakes. My Grandfather did this all the time when I was a child. Did I do the right thing as my golf balls have been disappearing?
Wow. After looking through 21 pages of postings, I found no one like me. I am 1/2 Choctaw Native American. I was taught by my Grandfather the Old Religious Views and Beliefs.
So what religion am I? I guess I am a Child of the Old Red Road.
thanks so much.. I have been coming to your site for over a year and kind of out of the blue today I went ahead and joined. I have used the knowledge of the postings here several times on my own flock. So now I have joined and can maybe repay to others the info I have got from here.
Wow at all the people in Texas! I had no idea that there was so many chicken lovers here. I feel so much better now that I know I am not the only one.
I love my birds. It is so relaxing to listen to them croon and talk to each other. To listen to the mother chicken talking to her chicks is...
Hi guys. First let me say I am a licenced chicken seller for Texas. I raise New Hampshire Reds, Barred Rocks and Ameraucanas.My flock is kind of small (for now - approx. 150 birds) but they are happy open pasture chickens.
I do sell directly from my farm but I also visit the Bonham Tx flea...
