My girls are layin' machines, I swear. This 100+* weather and they all lay nearly every day. Of course, now that I say that they will surely make me a liar.

I guess I don't have to ask what's for dinner at your house!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

. . . I inherited an old cookbook from my grandmother that has a section on how to prepare raccoon and some interesting recipes too . . . yup, here it is, "American Legion Coon Dinner." Yowza.
"Some parts are edible!"

I don't cook anymore, if I can help it. It is too hard to "cook" for one. When DH is home (he travels for work) he usually cooks. Gave most of my cookbooks to my daughter......... I do enjoy Marie Callender' TV dinners though.

I have a neighbor that takes the coons and skins them or tans them or whatever ya do with them. I didn't ask what he does with the meat.

When I lived in NE Texas they were always talking about having a coon for dinner. I had no idea what they were talking about. I had to ask....

I would have to be VERY hungry.

I am looking for nests like this, but can't find any (Flemmingoutdoors is out of them). Any ideas where else I could look?
Actually, I would like to have wall mount 2-hole roll out nests but can't find ANY of those. I want 2 nests in each of my breeder pens, and wall mount would give them more floor space.

Yes, I wrote to them, too. They do not have any made currently, but will next week.
Thanks!
