Good catch! :thumbsup
 
I see I'm not the only one with a possum problem. We caught three two weeks ago, four last week, and I found two yesterday alone! Needless to say, I think they are learning pretty quick which chickens are off the menu.

And yes! Snowballs is very manly. He keeps his doe protected, wards off scary day old chicks, and takes the back scratches I give him everyday fearlessly. It's all self sacrifice I tell ya. xD


I kinda like seeing the possums, so I can shoot them. *don't judge me please* :oops: ;)
 
It's mornings like this....
I turned all the mares out this morning, and then, first day of vacation, I rounded up the boys and made them come out to the barn with me. My oldest helped clean stalls (for service hours) and the youngest swept the barn and took care of the chickens. There was much grumbling about being made to "do chores" at 7ish on their first day off! I needed to get the stalls cleaned, add shavings and drop hay, because of the coming rain. I got everything ready, and decided NOT to wait for the rain to start before bringing them back in. Well, as Mother Nature would have it, it started raining while I was bringing in the first pasture (3 pregnant mares). The "ladies" (I was calling them unkind names at this point) decided that they didn't want to go in their stalls. They'd rather run around in the rain with their blankets on. I was not a happy camper. FINALLY got the first group in, and then headed the 4 wheeler to the big pasture. The big pasture has the mares that are not bred yet in it, as well as, my kids gelding Star. Wellllllll....everyone herded into the barn pasture ok, but that's when it went "to the crapper". They thought they were at the races again, and were running and sliding around in the mud (with their blankets on). Needless to say, we were all soaking wet by the time I finally got them into their stalls. My gelding Star, I would have gladly sent to the dog food plant, he had me so mad! He was having a blast getting the "ladies" worked up and running around the barn pasture. He also thought it was fun to run by the chicken coop/ run to make the chickens squawk and scatter. AGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
