EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

What if #1 was a Chippendale dancer?

I have a feeling a Chippendale dancer would still be worthless to me. What good is he to me...unless he has carpentry skills for building new coops? I can't help but imagine he would cost me more than he's worth with the upkeep.

However the dunking bird will have me laughing for months!! And those laughs are free!

could be, but no clue
i would think with so many lost it would be coyotes
i dont think a bear would do that much at a time and they tend to go for an easy (in the coop) meal rather than chasing dinner

i guess my mind has been made up for me
too bad i dont get to eat them

I would think you would be able to tell if it was a bear. Gracefullness is not one of their traits when feeding. They would destroy feeders, fences and doors.

Nothing vacuums as bad as losing show birds just before a show...... This I know as a fact.

electric fence was on but the feathers were up in the driveway, and between the barn and pumpkin patch
