Predators are smart and predictable. If they get an easy meal,they WILL be back.

Haven't started weighting the BB's yet. Always something else going on. Would you believe the little buggers are already doing the strut display?!!
I wonder if this is a reliable sign of aggression to come?

I've been resisting the impulse to make Lappers out of them. Its hard though. They seem to want to interact a lot more than the midgets did

I spent about 45 minutes sitting on a bucket with the toads, all of them around my feet picking them up and holding them.. Some nibbling at my legs...

I wonder why meat birds have to be so darn friendly. They should have terrible personalities so we want to kill them....

I agree!!

Meat birds should be nasty. I guess they just love us because we bring food lol. My 2 CX girls are squatting. I'm wondering when I'll start getting eggs. I named one of them Big Betty. I can't call her Bertha...I have an Aunt named Bertha (pronounced Bearta. She's from Peru) and she's a tiny little toothpick lol.

I love how clean white birds look! Mine look nothing like that day 3 of rain.

There is one feral hanging around the neighborhood. I've been lax, I need to trap it & get rid of it. However, Sunday as the turkeys & I were collecting the neighbors mail we confronted it in her backyard. Both girls fluffed, fanned, stuck their necks out & marched toward it. That cat got the weirdest look on its face & ran.

You are better off letting it stay. Trap it and get it fixed if you can and then re-release it. Studies have shown that if you get rid of it, others just move in to take over it's territory. But when you get it fixed & re-release it, it can't produce more offspring and no new feral cats move in to take its' place.

Feral cats are one of the worst predators there are and are very harmful to the native wildlife. Releasing captured feral cats is irresponsible.

Advice from the experts again , I have a hen on her nest, but the eggs should have hatched by now, I'm thinking this past wknd at the latest. She is stuck on that nest tho and will NOT budge. I can't get within reach to swipe an egg to candle etc, much less remove them if they are bad. We were excited about our first possible hatch, but it looks like did. So, should I give her one more week? If nothing this wknd prepare for battle to clear out the nest? Any tip on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. She's wedged herself into the corner and you have to basically kneel to reach in to her. Hard to run away fast when your all hunched over, and frankly I like my eyeballs in my head, and all my extremities attached lol. Thanks in advance!
