You're not allowed to do that!

Birds of prey are experts at dropping into openings to take prey. What keeps the raccoons from climbing in or foxes from jumping in?

Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my eyes the most. I hate carrying glasses around.
I've also lost at least 100 pair in the last 20+ years. I buy them in 3 packs and am usually down to 1 within a week.

No, but she said 6 of the people on the Metro bus were killed when they took the brunt of the impact.

I think the drivers survived. It was an ugly scene.

chicks in the fall need more heat but they will lay eggs sooner

X2 I'm fond of autumn chicks. I think they feather out better because it is cooler. I'm not a big fan of summer chicks. Can't keep them cool enough.

Many people suggest that spring chicks are more robust because new forage and insects are available but I think if one is careful at providing excellent nutrition, it shouldn't be an issue.
I may start comparing weight gain between each season of chicks.

Hmmm now I wish we would have built the coop this summer and gotten them from a hatchery, not waiting for our local family farm store gets them next year.....oh well. I'll take what I can get!
