A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

See,I find that strange. We don't have chipmunks so consequently I think of them as cute little TV stars

When my mom first moved to the country she planted a garden and was working hard at it. One day she looked out the window and saw a chipmunk jittering around the garden. She called my dad and said "Oh, look at the little chipmunks! I hope they start living near the house so I can see them ALL the time!" My dad replied with "You know they're eating your garden...right?"

"KILL IT!"

Kill it we did! There will always be more but we have a good story now!
 
I have had major rodent issues.

I had chipmunks last year, at first it was cute, until they started eating 100# or more of feed a week. The birds just watch them eat their food. Stupid birds.


One jumped in the Guinea pen, I thought for sure he was dead....NOPE, the guineas helped him to the feed. Stupid birds.

I have opened squirrel and chipmunk season year round here. They cost me a ton. I got some dwarf ears of corn for my birds last fall. I was almost 3/4 of a mile from my coop hunting mushrooms last fall and I found one of those dwarf ears under an oak tree. The squirrels in my yard were inviting their rural relatives over for my treats. That was the last straw. I use a .17 on them now. fast and accurate. Same as chipmunks.

The Chipmunks brought rats into the Toads and White Legbars pens, those birds are so mellow they never attack anything. I moved them out and fed them buckets of those poison bars. They are all gone now. Have been for a couple weeks. Oh and I have cats now. HUGE MEAN CATS...

I am moving the toads back in one side of that coop and guineas into the other, I hope the guineas decide rodent is a delicacy. This time of year they are so mean I think they would take on a bear..

Hopefully any rat moving in will never get a chance to unpack...
 
I started using bromlethian (Sp?) I wasn't having any luck with warfin based poison. The brom is a neurotoxin and works the first time with no chance of growing resistant. The down side is that ANYTHING that eats the dead rat,joins him. I've lost a couple of hens to what I'm fairly certain was secondary poisoning
 
And buckets..... I would have 10lbs of the warfin based GONE over night. It was really starting to worry me. I could not imagine going through that much poison and there not be bodies littering the yard
 
From the information I was able to pull off the internet, Norway's can become immune to warfin. Another problem is that rat's are super smart. They get enough to make them sick,they won't eat it again.They learn to avoid it
