FROM Wikipedia:
The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a North American mammal of the cat family Felidae, appearing during the Irvingtonian stage of around 1.8 million years ago (AEO).[3] With twelve recognized subspecies, it ranges from southern Canada to northern Mexico, including most of the continental United States. The bobcat is an adaptable predator that inhabits wooded areas, as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edges, and swampland environments. It persists in much of its original range and populations are healthy.

With a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, the bobcat resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus. It is smaller than the Canada lynx, with which it shares parts of its range, but is about twice as large as the domestic cat. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby tail, from which it derives its name.

Though the bobcat prefers rabbits and hares, it will hunt anything from insects and small rodents to deer. Prey selection depends on location and habitat, season, and abundance. Like most cats, the bobcat is territorial and largely solitary, although there is some overlap in home ranges. It uses several methods to mark its territorial boundaries, including claw marks and deposits of urine or feces. The bobcat breeds from winter into spring and has a gestation period of about two months.

Although bobcats have been hunted extensively by humans, both for sport and fur, their population has proven resilient. The elusive predator features in Native American mythology and the folklore of European settlers.

I obviously didn't think so!

Not sure of it's exact threat potential, but I'd assume high for the chickens, fairly low for myself. It was just the "DUR" moment this morning that I had that makes this so funny to me...

Kathy does that mean you set some more Orps and they are growing?

ETA: My hatch is now down to 30..or still at 30 from the last candling.

13 ducks and 17 chickens.

I hope they don't start early because I am not ready.

ETA Again: Ok, they are ready...good thing too because I heard cheeping coming out of the hatcher!

Yeah... right after I finish my regularily scheduled shift.

Although my boss has already placed the "CAUTION WET FLOOR" 3 foot high sign right in front of my door as a warning to all those who enter.
I am in a mood.
