Granny's gone and done it again

and that is the reason (or so I am claiming) that I order more chicks then I really want. Plan on about a 10% loss due to POL getting it right, predatiors, stupidity (bird and human)

Gotta do what you gotta do lol

sigh sitting here waiting for my INS agent to show up for his 10K check. One would think he would be here bright and early for that amount of dough. Guess the other errands will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

good morning all. I was winning the battle with the sucker chair until mid evening.

Talked to Robert and something got into the young birds, got a hamp and 2 of the whites, ate one head partially and the "bottoms" of the other 2.

Sounds like possum

The last bunch of EE's I got (2016) still can NOT seem to lay large eggs. And yet the 3 or 4 years olds mostly do. Maybe like wine EE;s have good and bad hatch years.

They are sure hardy, and don't think I have lost one to any type of prediator or to old age yet either ( or not enough to remember)

Sounds like possum

except I don't think they make it this far north, have never heard/seen such any way. I was thinking maybe a young coon. Trap has been set, Since the killer left "bait"

I wonder what the yaks and chickens will think/do

Chickens go to roost, and yaks do whatever yaks do when it gets dark at night; probably lay down & go to sleep would be my guess

Saw the eclipse is starting on TV. Animals either don't notice, or think its evening. At least every time I've seen animals during any eclipse.

well that explains all the haze in the air. Lots of fires in Montana

and make more baby Yaks, they seem a "little shy" where that is concerned. Imagine me having prudes.

I thought 'possum 'cause they like to eat the back end out of a chicken.

If that agent was supposed to be there @ 10 & he's not there yet, I'd go ahead with whatever I'd normally be doing; let HIM catch up to YOU. Why inconvenience yourself over his lack of respect for your time?
