Well it's been a week of me sitting with the peeps. They are so thrilled to be out again and eat grass, clover, bugs and what have you. Oh, and the dust bath spa is in full use! In the beginning they were all huddled together, which much easier for me to relax and read. But now they try to scatter in several directions, that not relaxing nor reading. Im having to get up and guide them away wherever the fox could watching and hiding. Absolutely no sign of the little bugger. I'm really suspecting the radio NPR that has been intimidating or scarring off the fox and frankly the rest of the wildlife around the barn yard. But I am still worried for how long. I set a timer for two hours of chicken watching. I've got my old system down again. My music (I can't read when there is talking, especially during Science Friday), my books and or chicken magazines, my chair, and of course a refreshment of some sort. It is giving me the time to watch my birds interacting again. Unforneately winter is coming and it will be a little less fun though..
I will refresh the trap and see what will come. Perhaps he/she has actually moved on to where more wildlife that is out at my property. Probably wishfull thinking though.
