Totally floored me! Murphy does not love everyone like that. He's usually quite content to allow people to pet him. In fact, in his nearly 6 years, I have seen him bestow such affection on exactly two other non-family members. But he's a real good judge of character.

I enjoyed your visit yesterday, you and RF and her Number 1 Son. Wish we could have visited longer, but hard when we're all so busy. We need to make it a point to have a bit of a gather in December. A potluck, perhaps? Whatcha think?

I'm game for a potluck! Would be great to put faces to all the awesome peeps on here. I'll even offer up my digs for it if it would help. I don't observe Christmas so I reckon I'm a tad less busy in December than most of y'all. Plus, DH will be gone for all of December and half of January so it'll be a good distraction for me and the boys.

Hollow, I think you were the one that said your cats and opossums would all eat cat food together?
I saw this today and it reminded me of that
I always heard raccoons were mean!

Hey coop...I have a "pet" for you..warm, fuzzy, always smiling...lots of teeth and a long tail. I call him Hisssss..

I wouldn't take a million dollars for him but I like you so much I'll give him to you!!!

I have raised a few of those.......I am a wildlife rehabilitor and possums is one of my favs.

But I'll admit at that size it's best released in a nice wooded area.......I can do that for you

. Cute! They certainly can be mean, but that just means defensive!

. Hey, I came up with the idea! My part is done...aside from cooking for it, that is.

(We get this far at least once a year, don't we! LOL!)

If I put one of those wildlife traps in my run for when I go out of town for a couple days do you think my chickens would go in it and get stuck???
Maybe I should just leave it in the yard, but thought it may be less inclined to go in....

I somehow didn't realize they couldn't fly at all (don't know how I didn't notice this with my last silkies) so she couldn't get up on the roost with the rest. I was planning on building a ladder type thing so she could hop up, but hadn't gotten to it yet. Do you sell silkie pullets? I get so attached to them and can't keep roosters so I hate getting straight run chicks and then having to give them away when they turn out to be boys



Ordered one, should be here Tuesday. Didn't realize how expensive they were, so only got one. Have to figure out the most strategic way to place it. I hope I can catch how whatever this thing is is getting in my pen. Everyone alive & well this morning, guess because they sleep up on the roost. I was looking for footprints, but never found any.


Wild-- Sending prayers for your pup, hope he starts improving!!!

yea i have a few hens i could get rid of

Alright, I'll do it. We'll consider it my initiation.

I was a meeting space coordinator in a past life.

Anyone who wants to come, PM me and we'll start by picking a date and location. I'll give you until this time next week to give your votes for dates/times/locations. Once I get a good idea of who wants to come I can triangulate a central-ish location. So far it's looking like it'll be the Piedmont Potluck.

I'm thinking maybe December 15th? It's a Sunday, not too close to Christmas but far enough away from now to allow time for planning. Thoughts?

The possum is relocated to a nice wooded field area away from my place. Didn't have the heart to dispatch him like I have before. BUT if he comes back...BANG BANG !

Neighbor's years getting ravaged by a hen and chicks, she found the owner and asked.him to come get them, been here two weeks so I set a cage up to trap them. Guess he doesn't care about them so I may have a few additions to my flock..

Quote: I would love to participate but December is an extremely busy month for me with church and family. Let me know when you plan another one!!

I said I like SNOW.....I didn't say anything about sleet or freezing rain!!!!!!

Does anyone use a cookie tin heater? Are they safe? Could you use it outside or just in the coop?

I hope everyone stays safe and warm today.
