Granny's gone and done it again

Don't feel bad. I can beat you on that one. I'm watching my Fayoumi hens. I suspect they got ahold of some rodent bait. Not a lot, a small chunk but could cause them a lot of grief and me just plain grief to me. Over two years when my coop was overran with mice I lost about 20 birds to them eating poisoned mice faster than I could get them picked up. Now this trying to eliminate a rat colony that moved in this time last fall. I'm still seeing an occasional rat wander in. We find tunnels in our yard and in our pasture. Believe it or not they are tunneling in deep, going under my hot wire, crossing the run without lifting the soil in order to get to the concrete platform that is under the shed. They remind me of the Graboids from the movie, Tremors. (one of my favorite movies)

I found one dead in the run two days ago after seeing new tunnels under the building and putting out bait. I picked a holder up this morning but somehow they knocked it down and I couldn't find the bait when I locked up.

Always something......Sometimes I get so tired of fighting the rats and mice. One of the reasons I decided not to breed or get any more chickens but just enjoy the ones I have.
I remember fighting the mice. I got the traps. The ones where they go in and can't get out.

I used The bucket of blood and also drowned a bunch, I just flooded the coop and as they came out and tried running up the walls the cat would grab them and take them to the chickens who gobbled them up! LOL
 
Thanks, Granny.

Sounds like good results on your surgery! I really like this bottom line:


Sounds to me like this means there is now a good healthy pulse in that ankle?

Pulse, sorry.
My foot and ankle is tingling pretty bad. Is that what it says? the ankle? I was thinking the groin

You're right, the iliac artery is located in the lower abdomen near the pelvis. I was just thinking that if there is no longer any stenosis (narrowing) in that artery to impede flow, then you probably have a good pulse all the way down, clear down to your ankle now. Isn't this what alarmed your doctor, no good pulse in the groin or in the ankle?
