Sorry about the coon attack - you are lucky only one was hurt. Your daughter did very brave and compassionate thing - you have taught her well.

Awww VeryCherry I'm so sorry to hear about your predator attack. Your little girl was so brave to take matters in her own hands and do what was right. I can honestly say that that would be something that I myself would have to call DH in for.

Yes, it's times like this I wish I had a DH, but at other times I'm glad I don't, lol!

I still can't believe Jill could do it. She had tears in her eyes, poor thing.

I know I was lucky that it just got the one pullet that night. It could have been a lot worse. I had put a piece of scrap wood up in front of the pen, but it was just a little shy of going all the way across. We found a bigger piece in the barn last night and leaned it against the pen, with a bag of quickcrete in a bucket up against it to keep from moving, and it evidently worked well enough as a temporary fix, but I'm headed to the store shortly for hardware cloth. Those racoons will take any chance they can get.

The other four, the Hooter Girls (and I suspect at least one of them might be the cook and maybe a bouncer) are the least flighty of the whole bunch.

Lol! Most of my EE's/Ameraucanas are very friendly too, but I do have a white hen that's pretty jumpy. She's friendly if you move slow to pick her up, and then you have to calm her down a bit. I have a white male chick that's sweet but jumpy too. Something about the whites?​

Thank you all for your understanding.

By the way, Amanda, she was in the same pen as the pair of Cochins you're getting. I'm so glad they're ok.

I just got my hardware cloth for the pen, AND a bag of quikrete. I can't quikrete the hardware cloth into the ground like I did at the back of the pen, since I have to open the doors, so I'm going to dig out a little trench under each door and fill it in with the quikrete so they can't dig underneath. See ya later!​

I don't know sorry, but I think it's neat that your taking the class.


Well, I finally got my tomatoes and a few other things planted today. It's been too wet up until today to do anything in the yard. I'm so glad it's done. Now if the critters will just stay out of it!

Oh, but because of all the rain and standing water, my chickens had a great feast on tadpoles and crawdads today!​

Maybe if the tadpoles grew up anyway
