Started my day by sending this one on his way. I wish they were ugly, or that I knew how to preserve the hide. Just seems like a waste.

That's why I rather predator proof my chicken run there will always be another one come along it never ends.

Lots of post to catch up with, finally made it thru.

@granny so very sorry for the loss of your sister in such a horrible way. Thankfully I believe in God so I know that SOB will eventually get his. Unfortunately at the time of your sisters death that never would have been enough for you to feel justice was done. Very glad that time & counseling helped you make it thru.

@Newfie - Your blueberry buckle looks divine. Plop a big scoop of vanilla icecream on top and I would be in heaven.

@Camping - we caught ourselves a baby possum after we lost 2 hens to what we thought was a fox. This week to our surprise, the hens started squacking the predator song late one evening. Ran out to see what was a matter. There was a huge stray Tom cat in the backyard by the grandkids swing set. Usually he takes off running when he sees me, but this time he was acting strange and wasn't moving. My daughter comes up behind me and ask what they are squacking about. I tell her a big cat as I glancing out towards the cat and beyond the cat by the woods. Here standing out by the woods was a cougar. I first mentally thought it was a bobcat, but after a better look it had a long tail. For the past few years there have been more sightings of cougar in our area. At first the DNR tried to say there wasn't any, but quiet a few people have captured a trail cam picture of them. My property butts up to a large track of land that has very dense forest & marshy areas. We definitely need to purchase a trail cam when we have the extra funds. Really makes me nervous to be back by the woods picking blackberries. Usually I'm worried about encountering a bear, but I never would of thought in a million years that I would encounter a cougar in my backyard.

@Granny - I think as long as the animal don't look sick it would be fine for the chickens to eat it. If they were living wild they would.

A lady had a cougar on her patio right on the edge of town the other day! Yikes! When she went out side it slowly left not in a hurry at all. She has a small dog it was probably after. Makes me realize how easly one could be in my yard. And I have old goats and a old horse. And small dogs and a cat. The chicken are well protected and if I let them out of the run I watch them close.

Makes you want to build a fortress. 10 foot walls strung with barb wire. A moat with aids infested aligators. Gun turrets on each corner. Lol

About that stranger thing. Yeah we teach them that. Then comes halloween and you send them out to strangers to ask for candy. Lol

Hi everyone, had to get my daily reading fix, lol I'm praying everyone has a pleasant uneventful day. Suffering with a very nasty headache today so no long visit at the moment.

I had six pullets circling a nest this morning. A few are still hanging out while the hens lay. I found the skin of a rubber egg in the run this morning, so I'm hoping it's from one of the pullets! They hatched Easter Sunday, so they're four and a half months old.
