[ChicoryBlue]

Betty was under the big coop grooming. If you look in the background you can see her.

I see her now, thanks!

What Animal is this?

Does anyone know what animal makes this track? Chicken footprint included for size reference.

Gorgeous. They did say we would see some lovely sunsets from that volcano in Tonga which put lots of particulates into the atmosphere.

That's right. I forgot about that.

Squirrel? Or something roughly that size...

Red sky at night, sailors delight.
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

At least that's what I learned from nana and both her husband and father were seafaring men.

I learned it that way from my father, the farmer.

With you on that (been there), some lessons learned come with so much pain.

I hope so. I live in fear of predators here. I have never really identified what killed Maleficent.

I have a friend who has two goats and he is besotted with them. He keeps sending me cute pictures in the spirit of 'how could you not have some of these?'.
The geese idea comes from friends who are worried about predator attacks on the chickens. Apparently geese can scare almost anything. No idea if that is true.

Our FedEx delivery guy says his geese are the best guards, they have their long necks and keep their heads up high and are always looking out and give great warnings. I think he said they are very fierce when it comes to taking on something too, but I'll have to confirm that.

Yes and never forgotten.

Already I am planning an awesome covered set of really ms for the chickies with electric fencing - nothing will get in! Or out...

I'm seeing longish toes, too big/clear for mouse. Just checked: weasels have 5 toes. I see only 4. NOT weasel.
