Bears were abundant in MO until the 1850s. They claimed that bears were eradicated by 1950. We had a farm in the Ozarks in the 50s to 70s and I saw bears on our place a couple times and tracks on many occasions. They still claimed there were none. A lot of things can hide unseen in those rugged sparsely populated mountains.
We now have a fair population south of the Missouri River. Subadult males are seen all the way to the Iowa border.
In 2010, they did a large-scale DNA study of Missouri's bear population which suggests that our largest population, in south-central Missouri (near where our farm was), may represent a small remnant of that region’s historical population, combined with bears descended from the Arkansas releases. So I was right, they were wrong.
Same goes for mountain lions. Officially they were no longer in MO but they were on our farm. Officially there is still no breeding population here but there have been over 50 confirmed sightings in the last 20 years. A game cam in a back yard right here in St. Louis county caught one just a couple years ago.

We occasionally have Gray Wolves wander here from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Am I to assume that supplying water to fowl through PVC tubing is a no-no? I don't anyway (fill a milk jug inside & carry it to them...all 6 of them in a single location).
Probably a no-no. Not officially approved for potable water.
I can't provide water for 6 to 8 flocks of chickens with a jug. Most of them are watered from two 55 gallon pickle barrels but I have to use a hose to fill them with PVC hose. And then it is distributed with PVC pipe. Eventually I'll probably replace everything with something safer.
I am trying to cook eggs, so I am using voice type. I did not think that it was me trying to see him, but you're right. That does work.
There is no way to straighten out something that is already straight. Whites, is that a promise?

I have a picture of myself with the 3 stooges.

That's great. Chag Sameach to you.
We have plenty here. We can send you some.
That's OK. The blabbering has been going on for hours by all the people that didn't sleep last night.
