I missed morning because I was incredibly stupid this morning at 4:30 when I set off the quail in the tiny coop with the door open, of course. Had to wait til near dawn til the quail still in the coop started calling the missing, I had 3 escapees. Herding quail is nothing, I repeat, nothing like herding chickens. You can't get too close or they flush, and then you are screwed.

You have to have a door open to the run so they can go in, and that means some come out.
If there are crows and ravens screaming, and blue jays, they freeze.

I found out my chickens could care less about the quail.

I had to crawl under more pine trees and through wet wet wet stuff, and I got all kinds of scratches on my face.

It took me 3 and a half hours to get them all back in.

I was late for work.

How's your morning going?

(on the good side, I didn't run out of gas before I could hit a gas station, and I didn't get a speeding ticket on the way to work, and....all quail were accounted for)

This whole post has me upset!

It is so selfish, You should have driven faster and gotten a ticket or two!

By not getting a ticket, jobs are lost! You have taken work from the Cop that wrote the ticket, the dispatcher that assisted the cop. The supervisors of these two. Someone in the clerk of courts office who would have processed the ticket, the judge and his clerk and stenographer who would have found you guilty in front of a jury of your peers ( all of who now miss out on jury duty pay).

Your lawyer. the county attorney who would prosecute you.



As I see it you cost 12 people their jobs just because you did not get a ticket!!! shame shame shame!

I didn't think that traffic court had a jury... I've never been in one though

Not speaking from experience or anything but traffic tickets are paid on line. You don't get to see anyone but the officer who gave you the ticket. Nothing fun and exciting, no court just click and pay.

Coffee1st, I would post your chicken photos and ask for help on the emergency illness thread or whatever it is called. They have been very helpful to me over there, my guess is they will know what it is.

I have posted there but still no response... maybe someone will see it today...

Glad not everybody here subscribes to the anti-liver propaganda! 

My mother makes liver dumplings for soup. Yummmmmmm!

i have heard about a coyote working as 'bait' to draw a dog out while the pack circles them up and attacks.  I would be surprised if what you describe happens too 

Sounds about right for coyote behavior.

 

[scandiafowl]

In Wisconsin where its legal to run bears with hounds, the number of dogs being killed by wolves has gone way up! Price, Ashland, Sawyer and Bayfield counties have had a lot of wolf vs hound problems

Doesn't surprise me. Dogs are domesticated and aren't taught from birth the "kill or be killed" life.

I think you go to traffic court to contest the ticket. by paying up front that is basically an automatic guilty plea
