Well, I don't think there is a shortage of possums if she does want one. I had to kill this one mainly because it had become accustomed to coming in the coop - if I didn't, when it grew up it would likely go after the chickens at night.
The rooster i thought the fox got a few days ago showed back up yesterday afternoon(missing alot of feathers but otherwise seems fine) MIA for around 48hrs. Hen is still missing but I suspect he went in her defense and she didn't make it back. Interestingly enough I was more upset about losing the rooster. He's a backyard mix but a pretty boy and the only one I kept after processing.
I find the same thing - I am more attached to the roosters. I think part of it is that so much care goes into choosing one (vs. keeping most pullets), and also because I expect them to be good watchmen and caretakers, and mine are.
Quote: Yes, it's Fiesta. This is the official memorial day for the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. It's a holiday for many folks (including me). It's celebrated all week (or two) and culminates with a giant parade today - it's a little like mardi gras. Complete with drunken idiots and crowds. I tend to stay home.
Had breakfast with kajira - so awesome, we both had bacon cheeseburgers for breakfast.
Then I went to the feed store and in the parking lot I got a text form a colleague who was in the office today - there was "some sort of bird on campus", and what should she do. I went by - and apparently there's a quail (?) who is considering applying for admission to medical school. (Seems that no one told him that it's a campus holiday).
On that note, I need to get to work on all my chores.

Glad you enjoyed your, um, breakfast. Nice pheasant!
SO FRUSTRATED. I am sure that it is the coccidia now. Just lost 5 more chicks today and counting. NONE of the places around me have corid for medicine. I am going to loose my whole flock at this rate before I can order some in, I already lost a third. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN HELP PLEASE. I hate this crap.
My friend has put out some water for the pheasant. She wants to put out feed - what should she get? Is game bird feed by Mannapro ok? (She bought Layena.

Any game bird feed should be o.k. What's she gonna do with 49.95 pounds of leftover game bird feed when Mr. Pheasant disappears as quick as he appeared?
