I have milk for my coffee LOL
 
I've spent the last two days working on the chicken's run. It's pretty large so I cleaned it all out and drug in a couple of dead trees so they have extra perches. Then made a fold-up ramp for the pop door. Now I just let the pop door down and then fold up the ramp and latch it. No raccoon is going to get in. Then I found the cutest wishing well in a junk store. It stand about 4 feet tall and has a shingled roof. With the 'well' part made into a table It would be a perfect place to put the feed so it doesn't get rained on. I'm not sure if the girls would climb up a ramp to eat out of the feeder. hmmmm

I've got a BAD mouse smell in the coop. Not inside where the ladies roost but where I store grain (of course). So I guess the plan today is to empty out the inside of the coop and sweep/clean mouse stuff and put PDZ down. Of course, when I get this done it will be time to clean the goat barn or wash clothes or work on organizing the disaster area that is the loft. Oh well.

So DH saw a skunk go underneath a pile of wood that we have behind the coop. Guess we will have to get the live trap out and try to trap it. Yuck!

I know what you mean about that mouse smell. I had it in my coop where some birds are. Cleaned it all out and got rid og it but I'm sure it will be back again.

Yes, trap that skunk and get rid of it.
 
Morning Robin.

I must say that I am very glad that I do not have a mouse problem. You'd think with all these trees around that I would have more of a pest problem like that. I don't. My chickens however will not eat a mouse. Go figure. The neighbors chickens will tear one up. Kinda gross actually. My outdoor summer, indoor winter cat loves to catch the suckers and then leave them dead all over the yard. She does the same thing to the birds. I hate when she does the birds... Mice, I don't care. I just pick em up and give them a big chuck in to the trees. I figure they'll get eaten by some other scavenger.

I have backed 3 rounds of cookies this morning and brownies... I still have mac nut choc chip cookies to do... I have a big cuppa joe to keep my energy up.... HAHAAHAA
