Muskrats? Wow. Never seen one.
Sounds like your original herd is taming down. Git to work with those babies.

Speaking of babies, my youngest just informed me he needs a ride into town. Got to get going!

be safe will be on latter this evening.

Muskrats are sorta like beavers? Do they dam up a stream?

 

[jane s chickens]

Better get rid of them quick. 3 litters/year of 6-8.

Alright fellas, need to do some troubleshooting. I currently have 10 chickens, 3 are roos. I have 1 large leghorn, and 1 mean Booted Bantam. I need to get rid of 1 of them (freezer camp is NOT an option). I would also like either one to go with some hens, to make it easier to get rid of.

The Large Leghorn is really sweet to humans, but beats the snot out of the girls and the bantam roo. He is nice looking, and did good at a little fun show for 4-h. He has some lavender genes.
(I have two Orpingtons that could go with)

The Mean Booter Bantam absolutely HATES humans, but hens and other roos are alright. He is pretty, and also did great in the same fun show as the other roo the year before. I was planning to bring him to fair this year, but lets see what happens.
(I have two D'Anvers that could go with)

So, which should go? Or rather, which one should I keep. Will need to put up pictures later, but just on description, what do you think?

I have 1 roo for 9 hens. Seems that any fewer hens results in over breeding & hens losing all their back feathers.

maybe they are making shoe sizes bigger ?? But certainly explains why my foot and usually part of my leg disappear when I step into an old post hole

are you 60 yet ? hahahaaaa

I went to try and figure cages out. Tom decided he wanted to help. He insisted this one cage I have will fit in the van and I kept telling him it wouldnt. measure it ! He didnt need to , he is a man. after half hr. of needed repairs he says lets get it in the van. I said no, I will need to load the smaller ones first and not til the am. NOPE we have to put it in tonight. Of course it didnt fit. Then he says Im coming to help unload. I said I already got CB theres no room. he said, CB can sit on the edge of a seat. Umm, no. He is coming and your not. You had a chance , you said no and to get CB. Now I have CB. All he will do is sit in the van and keep asking when we are coming home. Its so hot out. I have 3 small cages. 4 if I put kittys somewhere else. I need one just for tolbunt roo. Thought about putting him on leash but he is so mean. Im afraid he will hurt someone. I dont have enough room.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

HA! I am daft, I can put kittys in bigger cage. They need more room anyway.
