Yes there are summer camps on this every year at our property...

Seriously, if it helps, they don't eat nearly enough. I get eaten alive by mosquitoes if I don't spray myself.

Not helping sell the house chicken mosquitoes defense system too well with this comment. Yep going to start my army with barn swallows, then once they are trained up add in the feral goat mounted cassowary cavalry units… insert evil maniacal laughter here

This was on the news here a few weeks ago and I tried to find!

Thanks for sharing that is just wild!!!!

I read about this roo and apparently they are bred for this,

For passing out?

Or for long crows?

I have half been considering not kicking all the barn swallows out of my house… simply for this reason. Last year while DH was in Hospital I had to evict a “night bird” from the RV. Little bat was just trying to help me I’m sure! But yeah the “how the heck do I get this outside” was a fun late night phone call for the roommates in his ward.

A couple of years ago I kept getting bats in the house. Poor things got disoriented by the walls and escaping from the cats. They would end up hanging from the curtain poles.
I became a regular at the post exposure rabies place.
They seem to have stopped coming inside now which is good.
I keep meaning to make them a bat house on the side of the barn - on my to do list!

Here we are (bursting out of the coop) we're the princes of the universe!

I have no rival (insert Twirp attacking Hector...again)

Fighting and free (cockerel spats/flying out of the coop)


With Highlander playing....

Remember, there can only be 1.......

I’ll try to pay my chicken taxes… I’m dying a different photo every five attempts to load it, and holding my phone just ‘so’ at a 37degree angle towards the booster antenna.View attachment 3203545
Scarface! And the cause of the goat/chicken issues. Note the little perfectly centred black dot? Yeah I’m already thinking it’s another boy…View attachment 3203548
They fluff and circle it (not going to start saying him just yet, I’ll give it a few weeks) and have nearly squashed ‘her’ (don’t think it’s helping…) several times. And Greenfoot (yes I held back two meat girls again)View attachment 3203552

Scarface is going to be gorgeous! And Greenfoot is a beauty too! Did Scarface have the dot? Now I have to go check...

Then I moved the temporary to outside the run so they have even more space to run amok

Great job. They will love this and be safer.
