Ours will chase you down for food, lol. Not a mean one in the bunch, but I spend time with them all daily too.

Thanks. Even though we shooed everyone off to the lake last night, there were a lot of primary duck wing feathers around the chicken coops this morning. The mystery continues...

Lisa a fox will leave a trail of feathers too just like any other 4 legged animal.But a hawk won't leave a trace. Sorry about your loss!

It's good to have a doctor, a lawyer, and an electrician in the family! My dad retired from the IBEW, so when he comes down to visit in the winter I always have a list of things for him to do around my house - so helpful. While not electrical, I really need him to help me put a new roof on my oldest coop...it's leaking to the point where I've had to tarp it - ugly but effective. I'm pretty handy, but some things I just can't do by myself.

Thanks for the kind words. I seem to be complaining about my losses a lot lately, but considering the number of pets we have, we've really been fortunate. I keep forgetting that none of our animal friends live forever, although I sometimes wish that was so! It's hard to lose even one.

Oh goodness Lisa, I am so sorry! Don't feel like it's your fault, she was broody & your gave her some babies to wait on. I was talking to my DH last night & he said the same thing about a possible critter cam or a really bright motion light. (He's an electrician & is gonna put a light up for my babies...) I hope things turn around soon for you!!

Wow, lots of new Florida people this week -

Sorry for the silly question: Nava/FLchicken, what's NPIP, and why is everyone so eager to get it?

Time to stop messing around on BYC and get some homework done...
