I just got home and I already have an update!

I went straight to my coop to check on some biddies and I hear crowing. I see all my roosters in front of me and none are crowing. I look at the woods and I SEE THE SQUATCH!

Squatch sees me and books it into the woods again, all the while there's crowing further back in the woods. So there's now presumably a Mr. Squatch.

They have definitely been eating the food. It's gone. Granted my birds probably helped. But she was out there poking and scratching around. I'll continue feeding them there and eventual put the food in traps and hopefully trap them.

And she IS a red bird with a white tail.

I've never heard the rooster before so idk where he's been this whole time. Maybe they're young and he just started crowing or maybe he was born out there and she hatched him out. I have no idea. Or maybe she and Mr. Squatch were drop offs. :/

Going back Squatching!!

No but I had to give you a hard time since you changed your name

I have a visual on the rooster!
He's definitely a bantam.

Cool!! I can't tell what kind. Being A bantam makes me feel like they were drop offs

Can y'all see him in the second pic? He's on the ground next to the log.
