Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Something Tried Digging up Betty

I found this when I woke up Friday morning.

So I filled everything back in and placed some bricks on top. I then set up a camera. I caught this nasty in the process of trying to dig around the bricks last night.

Sorry this happened. Did it get anywhere last night, or give up?

Truth. Really stinks.

Indeed. I really don't want Éowyn meeting up with that at night. That would be awful for all involved.

It gave up. It could not move the bricks. It tried very hard to pull them up. It's not a big skunk.

Good, and interesting, I would expect a skunk could move a brick. Glad it couldn't!

The next door chooks are camping out in my yard near the coop. So far, my chooks have left them alone ( mama hen is mean)
But that’s okay. It’s a strong survival instinct for her chicks. I’m probably gonna have to set feeding times for my birds, and not leave feed out all the time.
I don’t take responsibility for my neighbors animals, but I will have something for them to eat. The neighbor has said nothing about them to me.

Well you know my thoughts

Those birds know where they will be well treated - and having chicks around would be fun for you.

FWIW, the spray is oil based, so if someone or something gets hit with it, use liquid soap (like dish soap) WITHOUT water. Work it in thoroughly to the area sprayed. Once the soap has bonded with the oil, you can use water to rinse it off. And like any oil, heat thins the oil and cold thickens the oil, so use cold water to help keep it contained.

We have one of those visiting from time to time. I found myself within 6 feet of it the first time we discovered its presence. I was dumping the coffee pot into the flower bed and had time to go back in for my phone.
