lost another one...

[critters]

no, not one of my guineas, or ducks, or the peacock but a chicken....
she didn't come in for bedtime tonight and I hate to admit it, but
she was my favorite Brahma ( don't tell the others) but she had
real personality and followed me around anytime I was out side,
regardless of what I was doing....

last week it was a guinea, that shortly after daybreak was attacked
and ate....

put up a camera and spotted a bobcat a few days back, thankfully
nothing was hurt....he must have been passing thru or looking
as to what was on the buffet and he'll be back another day....

anyway, keep an eye on all you babies.....hate getting attached
to all of them...it hurts more when something happens...

Oh no, sorry for another loss, bobcats are bad around here too, very sneaky/stealthy kills and they always return as many times as they can (unless they get lead poisoning ASAP!).

It's kind of gross, but human urine dribbled either along the property line or fenceline you want the bobcats to stay away from helps as a deterrent/repellent

Oh I am so sorry for your losses. Sending you

 

[critters]

Thanks PeepsCA and terrilhb...

if I spot the bobcat again I'm sure he will end up with lead poisoning.....
I didn't know that about the urine...may have to send hubby outside to 'go'...

Or at least have him go in a milk jug or Gatorade bottle for you so you can go dribble it around the areas you need it, lol.
I also take lots of nightly walks with my 5 male dogs and they do a great job of marking the territory too
