I agree, we are planning to remodel the railing (where they nest) they've been nesting decades here and destroyed the wood railings. Thank goodness the pillars are solid and wrapped in some formed plastic, they probably be the only thing standing if anything ever happened lol

One year I plugged up all holes and painted. Didn't work. Next year I filled holes with wasp spray and painted...they liked it! Less wasps to fight
Last year hubby got me a handheld racquet bug zapper! Ya baby! I was Agathy! Thwap! thwap!!
But they're back still lol we will use a synthetic decking when we redo it. Too many woods around and natural breeding grounds to fight them lol and I really don't want to kill them...we need pollinators bad. Even with our honey bee hive. But they definitely must go you're right! They do a lot of damage from the inside out.

If you own the house and don't want to replace your pillers get rid of the carprnter bees. FYI Pam

"the uncertified hog tasted glorious." I agree! Lol

With all the pesticides and other chemicals they allow on our vegetables and the processed feeds and growth hormones they give cows, chickens, lambs, etc that are sold in grocery stores, their idea of 'certified' is not exactly what I care to hear about!  MORONS! I say!  LOL
When Doug brings home a dead wild hog... I must say we havent been sick or bothered in any way!  And that whole, uncertified hog tasted glorious!

Lol I had a friend bring his kid over, had all the chicks outside, my kids having a blast with babies chasing them...their kids laughing and smiling turns around for the cutest Kodak moment, only to be greeted by his mother slapping chick outta his hands, scooping him up and running into the house to wash him off before "he catches salmonella or some kid deadly disease!"
Seriously? This super duper multi degreed grown woman had a heart attack over a Kodak moment with a chick ?! Ignorance is thick. We argued about facts, she left after information other than outta my mouth was presented (we all know the internet is always right... . Lol

And not even a smidge of poo was involved- lol and I always have poo somewhere she got lucky

Poor kid :/

Funny is she's a customer too...loves our meat ...ummm heh I have no words. but won't eat our eggs because they come out of the same hole poop does. She only buys eggs from the store wait so those chickens don't poo? I need some of those chickens!

They also tell us to be afraid of backyard eggs. You might get sick...wear gloves and a face mask when dealing with chickens then wash your hands... I think we failed their course and are in better health then them.

You summed it up!


If the government allows a chemical used in yoga mats and rubber soles to be used in the bread at Subway, I'm still scratching my head about their thinking parasites in those wild hogs.

Yeah Walmart makes eggs right beside the steak and ham factory in China (next door to the nuclear waste/computer precious metals recovery units)

LOL

Was yesterday a full moon??? I swear I thought I was in the wrong chicken yard yesterday after work. From the time I got off from work until after dark, there was nothing but chaos running a muck in the yard. It is definitely breeding season for my seasonal laying critters. And the fights to see who is going to be the Top Dog in the yard are horrifying. I had 4 turkey fights going on at the exact same time. I had 2 sets of toms fighting, 1 pair of turkey hens fighting and a turkey hen fighting my biggest rooster. I would try to break up one fight to get to the next fight but it was too much for me to handle. They were going under the raised coop, so I was trying to crawl in under there to separate them with no luck. The worst fight drew blood, so I had to pen one up but the other found him and was trying to fight him through the fence and caused more blood. So I said to heck with it and let them battle it out while I was there, so I could at least supervise the knock down drag out fights. I thought to myself, if I wasn't there, then what would happen. There wouldn't be anyone to separate the fight and they would have to work it out anyway. I hate to see them fight but I know it's part of the breeding season and rank. :/

After that, I found a chicken that had cracked open an egg and was eating it right next to me. Terri, you sent those vibes over to my place and I don't want it. I grabbed her butt and but her in time out. I have her butt locked up until I can decide what I want to do with her. :/

Shortly after that a customer dropped by to buy 6 hens because a dog killed his flock. As I'm talking with the customer, I notice that his eyes got real big and his mouth opened. So, I turned around to see what he was looking at and my youngest copper maran rooster had mounted a muscovy hen and was breeding her. :/ He was speechless and could not believe what he was seeing. His words were, "Is that rooster on top of that duck." I was like, "Uh yes. Sorry about you having to see that. That rooster was raised with ducks as a chick and he lived, slept on the ground and ate with the ducks, so that's all he knows. So, that's why he is breeding the duck." I was so embarrassed. The guy said if he wouldn't have saw it for himself, he would not have believed it. He complimented how healthy, big and beautiful the rooster was. I told him that I will either have to re-home him or process him because he will hurt the ducks because of his large size. The guy said that he would love to take him but my rooster was too big and if he bought another rooster home to live with his rooster, my rooster would probably kill him. His rooster is about 3 years old and was not as big as mine. I"m thinking I won't put chicks and ducks together next time. :/

So after he witnesses this unusual breeding, the then sees this same rooster take out after a turkey and try to fight the turkey. After that tight, this same rooster takes out after a goose and tries to fight IT. I don't know what had gotten into my copper maran rooster but enough is enough!!!

So after he leaves, another customer shows up to buy chicken and rabbit fertilizer and eggs and he got attacked by Satan's army (the geese). He gets out of his truck and starts walking towards the chicken yard and I see him running around in circles. I immediately run out of the chicken yard to see what was going on. Well, lo and behold, the geese got after him and he was trying to get away from them. Why me? :/

So then it has gotten dark and I'm still outside filling the waterers up for the broilers. All of a sudden I see all of the ducks that were sleeping on the ground take out running and start flying. The ducks that were in the trees and on top of the chicken house take out flying and the ducks that were still in the yard take out flying as well. I don't know what spooked them but to see about 100 ducks flying all over the place was VERY scary. All I could do was duck down so that I didn't get hit. Reminded me of the movie, The Birds.

So next thing happened was that there was a creepy looking truck driving up and down the road VERY slowly. He turned around a few times but kept creeping along. Not sure what was up him but my cameras caught him riding back and forth. After I shined my light on him, he drove off and never returned.

And the broilers are now attacking me for food. Seriously? They're that hungry?
