My chickens eat mosquitoes, maybe not a ton of it, but they often catch mosquitoes in the air while lap sitting on my husband.

And deer fly!

You did it!!!
Poor fella - he has no idea how lucky he is you came to get him. I assume you will quarantine him for a little bit to be sure he doesn't bring anything nasty into the flock.
He is quite a looker even stressed and skinny!

I feel all protective of him now thank god he's where he is. Ponypoor will bring him into himself

As far as livestock goes, after the clean up from the floods there will be another huge concern. There will probably be hay and feed shortages. Me and dad were talking and plotting the other day. If we can find it, and while it is still at a reasonable price which probably will not be for much longer, we need to stock pile about 200 bales. With the 3 boys we like to have around 75 by the middle of October. We then try to get another 50 around the first of January and if we can another 50 around the end of March. Hay is a huge part of their diet, and in the winter it can be hard to find so we load up when it is available. There is nothing worse then to be down to under 5 bales and have to scramble to find some and find out most of the places are sold out. My 3 are also picky, if it is not good hay, you are wasting your money trying to feed it to them. They let you know their displeasure when they take a few bites then pee and poop on it.

Have @Ponypoor get some and meet you halfway

Glad you took him. He needs a good home, and you will certainly give him that. The lady ought to be reported

I hope someone will report her those poor animals left there they have zero chance of survival

I'm also now starting to see another sad after affect of the flooding. People have not only lost their houses but their barns. In the last 24 hours one of my local horse facebook groups is being flooded with people having to sell their horses. Good horses as well, ones that just a week ago if you had asked them they never had any intention of selling. I feel really bad for them. I'm just glad I'm not in the market for another horse, we could all be saying bad, bad Rebecca.

Honestly with the pictures I see on the news I breathe a sigh of relief every time you post that you are OK. Just awful.

Yes he is still there, he’s a standard but @BY Bob said he would still be small - I plan to go check him out in a bit.

I hope to hear an update as I read on.

You have 3 different pitches going there. You need to get them crowing at the same time so you can do chords.
