INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[Chaneys Ranch]

So another raccoon just appeared a few moments ago. Setup the trap and waiting for it! This one is huge! I yelled at it to go away and git out of here, it just turned around at me and stared at me till I pretended to throw something at it!

Wildlife are all feeding babies right now. They get pretty brave! My DD had an incident with a fox yesterday but one of the dogs intercepted and ran it off.

Yeah that is true. Hopefully I catch it so I can re-locate it some where else.

He didn't eat her. So I'm not sure what to make of this.
Hmm... just the tail waving foot stomping thing.

After so much work fencing with electric approximately 2 acres last spring, now that area is not large enough for some of my flock. They are flying over the fence into the fox area. My Rainbow rooster has his wings clipped on one side and still flies up high. Sigh....

Darn birds - don't know what is good for them!

Here are the remaining 2 week old chicks. I ended up getting a decent amount of laced orps, 3 lavs, & one Isabel orp.

Is the tail wagging up and down? He's somewhat imprinted on dogs. His brother does the stomping thing sometimes too. Sometimes it's more mating or threatening. Stomping can be either, same with fanning out and looking big and gobbling. Turkeys can be hard to read, so watch carefully. Dogs are both objects of luster and intense threats in his book. Jake Jake (his brother) has the same issue with our dogs.

I'll try and get a shorter video because the one I have is too long it won't let me post it

@JanetMarie
I had to put an "extension" on the top of my 4 ft. regular fence for the young SFH that loved flying up and out. What is your elec fence made from? I may have an easy solution that they likely won't jump depending on how the fence is. Can you take a photo?

We'll have to talk about laced kiddos for June...
