Just think about it............ a glass of wine...........fire pit burning.................bat watching............. and gun by side for opossum shooting. That could work right? It doesn't take much to please me at all. :lau

We were thinking of doing 8 or so :/ maybe...just got the rabbitry started so I dunno lol maybe I can free range 5-8 with my rescue flock and keep them on fermented feed with them. I watched a guy free range his set and they did well, but he had small numbers and could keep an eye on them individually. We want to do a large set next year but only a trail run maybe before New years.

I had a dog years ago. She died at the age of 13 years old a few years back. She was a pit bull but she didn't know that she was a pit bull. She was just as gently as a lamb. I was always afraid that someone would steal her because she was so frienldy, so I had to always keep my eye on her when she was outside. She was a spoiled house dog that slept in the bed with me every night. The night that she died, I called my family (sisters and brothers) to let them know that she died and they surprised me by showing up at my house the next morning and we had a memorial service for her. My brother dug a 5 foot deep grave under her favorite pecan tree and we buried her. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. She has a head stone and everything.

I get too attached to animals.

If I were to get another dog, it would be a guard dog for the chicken yard and I'm not sure I could stand to have him/her in the chicken yard working and not inside chilling out with me.

You had a lot of wonderful years with her and gave her a fabulous life I'm sure!!! I'm sorry for your pain. I think you would give a dog a wonderful life. They could still guard the chicken yard and be a house dog. You should consider it. Getting attached to your animals is not a bad thing. They bring us so much joy. I wouldn't trade that. What was her name?

I had a catahoula/sheppard/pit mix (and then some). My husband brought her to me after we lost our first baby very late in the pregnancy. One of the workers had her. She was half starved, had heartworms and mange! I didn't want her at first, because I was grieving. But a very short time later, I ended up taking her to the vet. She was the most pitiful thing! Those mange treatments were awful, and the heartworm treatment was another story. We had Maggie for just shy of 13 years. She was smarter than just about any man I know. We lost her to heart failure 4 years ago. We buried her under an oak tree in our pasture. Last fall we buried Sophie next to her (she was our parvo puppy lost to cancer at 4). We lost my favorite mare foaling this past April. They were all hard losses. With my mare, Maggie and Sophie I cried for weeks, still do when I think about it. However, I wouldn't trade the happiness I had with them for anything. They were very much a part of our family. With joy, there will always be the pain of loss, but it's worth the ride. Ok, lecture done.

We have bats, but no bat house. I'm batty enough without one. I love the bats in the evening. If you throw a small rock straight up in the air, they will swoop and follow it almost to the ground. Just sayin...added entertainment.

I've had bats. Unwanted ones. I put up a bat house but they decided they liked my house better. You can watch them already I would think. I see them every night around here.

If you do put up a bat house make sure you don't have a opening bigger or the size of a quarter. If you do fill it we used foam spray insulation to fill ours.
I kept telling Ron something was living in the roof. He didn't believe me. After two weeks I guess the numbers tripled I took him out side and showed him the poop evidence he could no longer deny it. That night we went out at dusk an watched . It was like the monkeys in wizard of oz. The bats were dropping from the soffit and circling the house before leaving for the night to catch mosquitoes. We Didn't want to kill them for that reason. Its another long story how we caught them an relocated them. Pam

Interesting story.

So, they can fit in an opening the size of a quarter? WOW !!! Tha'ts small. And why till it with foam spray insulation? The numbers tripled? I think I need to read up on bats before I vetnure off into luring some my way.

Can't wait to hear how you relocated them.

Hi, I'm new to this, we live in south Shreveport, just outside the city limits. We have 12 babies in a pen in the garage. And just received some eggs today, going into the incubator. I enjoy watching the babies. Playing. I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions.
