I don't know maybe just hide out with my 38 special and pick them off one at a time LOL! I will try the marshmallow and sardines first though

I wish you the best of luck and hope you are able to secure your stock and keep them safe.


Heck, when we put up the game camera hoping to see the bobcat that came through on his usual path up the driveway this past summer...........all we caught was a no good neighbor syphoning gas out of our vehicle. Definitely was not what we were expecting to see.

I just put a locking gas cap on our car because I kept having to fill the car when I shouldn't need gas yet- car parked outside. (Gas stolen off our property at least two other times from a lawnmower and a gas can outside, too!)

I paid $14 at Fred Meyer for it. Neighbors can really be something, huh?

We put locking caps on all vehicles...even got one for my riding mower at the John Deere place...man you should have seen dudes face when I asked if he could get me a locking gas cap for my rider.
Anyway, they got so bold and brazen that they just would pop the locking cap....heck they left greasy hand prints all over the side of our work van. Can we say....DUH????? The Sheriff's Deputy got a laugh out of that. They even started stealing our dogfood that was in the shop behind locked doors, 100 lbs of goat feed and they were working on my chicken feed, we had to lock everything up!!!

I painted a huge sign that says " Dear Gas Thieves, Remember 1 small thing..........I get EVEN!!" and screwed it up to the opening on my big red cedar fence where they could see it and left them a 2 gallon gas can full of gas with special additives

We've not had any issues since the sign went up and the little gas can came up missing. Wonder if I will ever see my little 2 gallon gas can again?

We filed theft charges and turned in the photos from the game camera, we are still waiting to see what will happen.


What gets me the most...is after they could no longer steal the dog food..... they started taking my chicken and goat feed and they don't have livestock.
Another neighbor (a good neighbor) whose front door looks directly onto the front porch of the stealing neighbors house said that he saw the "stealer" mixing all stock and chicken feed together one day in a huge bin with water and fed it to his dogs. The "stealers" dogs must have been starving because my dogs would never even dream of eating all stock and chicken feed. No matter what I put into to entice them.

Where's Stoo, Vicki and Debbi lately? Anyone know?



WoooooooWhoooooooo??????? Ladies.......are you out there???? You are missed!!!!!

 

[DMRippy]

My sons dogs will come eat the compost pile (full of chick starter) and eat the chicken feed every chance they get. You would think they never got feed......

My feed has pork in it so it might taste better than the corn dog food they get. LOL

I'm here lady....not been on all that much. Work has been stressing me out and I think winter must be getting to me. I've been trying to keep my mind off of it by staying busy. I'm also dying to get started on hatching soon, but most of my birds have crapped out on me cause of the cold. boo.
I miss you guys too! I'll try to make more of an effort to get on here. I've lost a couple of birds due to the cold...and of course favorites. All but one of my Marans are doing well tho.

Both of these young males are too young to tell anything about the added color. I would wait another three months and then post another picture with the males standing and take the pictures from the side.

I agree with Snowbird. I would give them a couple of more months and then take pictures of them standing from the side. I would like to see their color patterns and a profile of their tail sets.
