Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

I just heard that with a Clint Eastwood voice in my head. Followed by spitting out some chew tobacco.

it was Marlin Brando in mine followed by a slug of single malt 

Single malt... and the sound of a shotgun being cocked....  No words.

Ok

Brush the dirt off, rinse off the wounds and get back on track people.

If it was easy, it would not be an adventure.

Every coop has been checked for holes and any breaks have been repaired.

The playhouse....

Looks great Oz. If the crane has potential to be dangerous, how about a blackboard and some chalk, the kids could play school and learn something in the process.

I have a liter of blackboard paint just for that task.

Have they started doing the same there as here, that what was once a one liter container of paint now contains 0.9 liters of it?

A cat got into our brooder house last night and decimated the chicks that were hatched from the eggs I took over last trip. Just heads were eaten as the hole was not big enough to get chick through the hole.

These were my most precous birds. All but one Polish, five Legbars and all but 3 New Hampshires. 

This is one of the few days since this adventure began that I ever felt like throwing in the towel. 

Instead I will be throwing some MSG into a can of sardines. 

Sorry to hear this. What is MSG?

How many of the remaining Legbar chicks are female? I think I see one dead male.

I am sure there are many families that would love to move into that.

msg = monosodium glutamate. used to enhance flavor of chinese food and breakfast sausage but 1 tsp in a tin of sardines is an effective bait.

I am waiting on Mrs Oz to go to the beach house today to send pics of survivors

So is MSG a poison or is it just to attract them to a poisoned bait?
It is used in lots of foods.
