    Superworms as treats?

    I thought super worms and meal worms were the same thing:/ The way I understand it is super worms are meal worms that are given some sort of hormon to keep them growing longer, bigger and slowing the process to pupaite.

    What are our TSC chickens?

    Not Red sexlinks, Red sexlinks do not have black tails. I was thinking that but could not tell if the tail is dark or if there is a shadow and I was looking at the tips of the wings as well.

    Cant catch this predator, Updated last post

    Those do work well and will kill the animal. You can look up sets for coinbear traps and get ideas on what you can do with them. I like setting them in a 5 gallon bucket. The only down side is if you catch one of your own pets or someone elses in it.

    Cant catch this predator, Updated last post

    pitchfork or baseball bat? My first thought was pitch fork as well. You could always throw a box over it and run a garden hose from the tail pipe of your car.

    Fox Attack Advice *Graphic Picture* *UPDATE*
