Thanks CSB! This is a great plan... I would much rather relocate them and have an idea of where to take them. Just to make sure, the "fence" is vertical, right, around the coop?Sorry about your chick.................
for snake control since sulfur and wet ground isn't going to work......
another method is to get some of the plastic netting with small holes
and light lines..........put thin stakes into the ground around the coop and
put the netting over the stakes........kinda skewered through the netting
so it is in a loose accordion style weave. The snakes trying to slither
through will get caught up in it and then you can capture and relocate
to a more compatible area. The netting needs to be loose so they get
snared in it but you need to remove them soon after snaring so they survive.
I agree that all the wet areas and water are driving lots of critters to the dry
of coops and barns and houses..........just part of country life
Hope you and your niece had a great visit! Drive safely, it sounds like we are in for more rain...
Good luck on getting baby out! DO NOT get induced until 41+ weeks, its just so much better to wait for the baby to come when ready unless there is a true medical indication.Oh my! CSB - that is a LOT of water!! I hope it clears up/dries out for you soon!!
I have no news to report here...all is well on the chicken/duck front. I did get disappointing baby news...NOTHING has happened/progressed. My "last" appointment will be Tuesday and then we start discussing induction. The doctors already know (so I don't know WHY we have to discuss it) that I will refuse induction and if they schedule it, I'll be a no show...my labors are LONG enough with me able to get up and moving, I'm not about to be confined to a bed for over 12 hours and enduring back labor the whole time...NO THANK YOU! I may have to bust out the castrol oil and all that fun stuff...LOL.
Going to Vollmer Farms in Bunn this Friday for some blueberry and blackberry picking...SUPER excited about that!! They have a farmer's market too, so I am going to stock up on some tomatoes and all of the yummy things they have that I don't (like WATERMELON)...I do have watermelon growing....LOL, if it doesn't drown. Just so you can't blame me, I haven't done diapers unless it's ALREADY raining, so this time it's not me!!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy July 4th (maybe we'll celebrate with a baby?!? I'm still praying)!! A special THANK YOU to all our service men/women and their families for their sacrifices!! We can celebrate our Independence because of the FREEDOMS they protect!!
