TURKEY VULTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting very tired of these things. Can't kill them because there protected here. I have my 2 1/2 month old Light Brahma's in the back, in a 8x16 breeder pen, with an igloo Big dog house for them to sleep in at night until I finish everything up in the back. Yesterday morning I was talking with son-in-law and walked outside and there were 12 TV sitting around and 3 in the pen with my Brahma's and one sitting on the house!!!!!

I went running and screaming at them. They didn't take off until I was on top of them. DAM% things!! One Brahma was out running around scared to death!! They are afraid of there own shadows anyways.

I have to find away to keep them away!! I wonder if a scarecrow would keep them away?? Lucky they only eat dead things.

Going to build a cooler-bator one day. After the big area is finished out back. Or at least to next year when all these breeds start breeding. lol

Watched the vid of that guy here in SC making them. Looks very easy.

my first trout runner baby hatched at 2am and my husbands only snowy call hatched at 11am, both assisted

O.K. that's it. No more chickens, they just bring me heartache. I'm getting ducks! Darn those things are cute! I must start looking to see what's available in SA.

Oz, I'm starting to wonder why I trusted this guy and what else he's been hiding from us. The moment I told him we're going back he's stories changed completely. From "all is well on the farm" he went to negativity. It sounds like things went from bad to worse since we left.

He actually said to me, about Heide, "We didn't know you were coming back" So it makes it o.k. that he can break a promise, just because we're not there to catch him out! With friends like those, who needs enemies? Well, needless to say we're not friends any more. And it's sad. I liked them and trusted them enough to leave my boy with them. And trust him to keep an eye on our farm and on MIL. I wonder what's waiting for us there.

My thoughts are with you.

So, so sorry.

Man they are working them girls over I would get all of the cock birds out for a while and give them a break

I don't have anywhere else to put them right now!! I've used up all of my available chicken spaces... Lol... The two I did take out had to go into the back of my horse trailer... The other two are only 3 1/2 months old, so I'm hoping it was the older one getting too aggressive.

Those are way too cute!! Can't wait for my duckies to hatch... No activity from the pipped eggs overnight. Do they take longer than chicken eggs to go from pip to zip?
