Hey, great to see you back! Sounds like you’ve got your hands full with both the chicks and those pesky squirrels. Clever trick with the cayenne pepper, though! It’s always a challenge to keep those little raiders at bay.Hi everyone. Guess it has been a while since I was here. Just been really busy. My girls are doing well, last year I added some new chicks, which are now grown and doing well. I raise chicks for others who want chickens, but don't know how or have the time to properly raise chickens from day old chicks. These days, most of my time is spent dealing with squirrels that are raiding my coops for eggs. I recently started putting cayenne pepper in the squirrel holes to chase them out, but they don't go far. They stay close enough to still raid the coops. Anyway, doing good as a whole, it's fun catching up on all the things everyone else is doing. Sorry to hear that Peter in Hungary lost his flock to pine martins, hopefully he's found a way to protect his next flock of girls from the martins.
It's fantastic that you're helping others get started with their own flocks. I can say that the idea of raising a ton of fluffy-butts does sound like fun!
