@BY Bob I see this thread as a family of friends and am very grateful to have found it and appreciate you allowing our participation.

I feel the same way.

Looks like this one has dug up a plant label.

Good find sweetheart but that isn’t a worm

Interesting point is that I see wild bird kills all over the place, but no chickens are harmed by the cats. Pigeon and sparrow feathers as proof. If the stray cats get ahold of any of those chicks, they will be doomed. (I don’t need that kind of stress)
In as much as a few new chicks would be great, it’s just not a good idea.

Look at this nonsense, you 3 do not belong up there.

Yes I'm talking to you.

Do not listen to Twig no matter what he says. Holly will toss you down in about 3 more weeks.

In the end, 2 of them came down and got on their normal roost. The renegade stayed put.

Rosie has a thing for cactus plants. I despise them with a passion. Fell on one when I was about 4 at my grandmothers and have hated them ever since. 2 years ago she was nagging for one for her birthday. I relented finally and struck a deal with her. I would get her 1....just 1 and if she kept it alive for a year I would get her another for her birthday. As long as she kept them alive herself every year she could have another birthday cactus. I really thought she would kill it, I prayed she would kill it. Today I paid up 2 days late with her 3rd birthday cactus. I still hate them. I can clean around them and not even touch them and still get thorns in my hand.

Cactus 1, why didn't you die? You were never supposed to last.

Cactus 2, you could die as well.

And the new one, you do not have as many thorns, but, it is only a matter of time before you get me.

All 3 demons together.

I guess I should adopt an open coop policy. If the neighbor’s chooks want to visit, then I won’t be chasing them out. I really don’t have any options

Well you know, they could be jaffars kiddos.

Mama hen would beat the crap out of a cat I am sure!

Wouldn't that be something. Hey Alex, have you got close enough to see if ANY have feathered feet? If they are his there is a 50/50 shot of feathered feet.

I made the mistake of planting cactus in the garden.

Insert swear words here….

I look at that garden each morning and tell myself I have to weed in there - it’s now a jungle of cactus and foot high grass, I think I will just dig it all up and burn it.

I swear those cacti can throw needles at me when I weed!

That would be so awesome
