How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Just had a near miss with a bald eagle! Luckily it hit the fence. It went after them right in front of my husband and I.View attachment 2065752View attachment 2065751

Glad it was a near miss.

We do not have many of them here. A hundred miles south of us at our family farm there is an Eagle family . I go a year between shredding pastures and when I do, they are ready. It’s a Buffett of field mice, rats, and rabbits. They just sit on a power line and wait.

They are very beautiful, it must be a sight. Here they are usually just passing through, we get a lot of them in the fall when the salmon spawn. I once saw 20 of them off to the side of the road just chowing down. My guess (knocks on wood) is that it was passing through on the way to the water. Im just glad it got a nice conk on the head and no dinner, hopefully it doesn’t come back.

We got 7 duck and 7 chicken so far today. Still need to check the bantam flock which has a broody sitting on 4 Arucana x Blue Birchen Marans.

My chickens are going nuts over mice now, with the snow partly (prolly temporarily) melted. I love it! The Buckeyes started it, but now a lot of the others are stalking mice, too. GO CHICKENS!

We have been seeing rats during the day and I am so hoping the blk snakes will come out with the warm weather. We’re setting rat traps out again tonight.

The ducks don't try to eat them? I find mice in my waterer occasionally, I think the ducks must drown them in there.

We have rat snakes here that are black with maroon tips on some of the scales. We call them Aggie rat snakes.They actually make good pets.
