NY chicken lover!!!!

Hey Stonykill Great photos I think i have an open wound somewhere you can rub salt in LOL.... The things I have put in my beetle over the past 11 years is just amazing. I go to the lumber yard all the time for supplies and use my kayak racks to tie wood down on. The guys at the yard have a picture of my bug hanging up with quite the load on top.I can't get a full size truck 'cause I avoid the LIE and use the parkways when I leave this island(which is every chance I get.) I love antiquing (or junk collecting according to my husband) so I travel all over MA, PA, up state NY etc. I think that's one reason he doesn't want me having another truck.. In the mid 80's when we were in Ithaca he sent me to buy a car with my dad who lived in Newburgh at the time. I came back with a hot red Toyota truck . He went nuts. But he was in Vet school at the time and I was working. I guess now this is what they call pay back. I'll keep every one posted as to how it plays out.

Itsy, the word "snaring" scares me. I hope you don't mean a leg trap. They are mad enough being stuck in the Havahart trap, you DON"T want to handle one of those nasties!!
There's a peep, Jimmythechicken, he's in CT, he breeds peafowl, but it is a little early for them, yet.

Any of you New Yorkers have pea-eggs? What are they called? Peacock eggs? Peahen eggs? LOL. A friend of mine is looking for some to hatch out on her farm. It seems like a two legged predator came and took her Peacock.

Thanks for the raccoon tips. I was kind of lumping in the supplies I need. Figure the air gun would take out a rat or a small possum. We've been trapping those, too. I need to look into the gun laws/information here so we can get something a little more serious down the road.

I'd also like to look into snaring a raccoon.....I'll head over to the Predator and Pests section!

When we were first putting up our pasture fence I had an Elantra. I folded down the seats and loaded it right up with 6 foot T posts. I have an Ion now and I've brought home a couple loads of scrap wood from work the same way. The last load surprised my DH because of how much I crammed into it.

yes and it was to die for scraps!

I go to the schuylerville auction now and then, but I generally just drop off my poor roosters and leave. I feel bad enough already.

Will you be going this weekend. i am.

Will you be going this weekend. i am.

No, not this weekend. Nothing to sell - I generally just go when I have roo babies I can't send elsewhere. My current batch is too young to sex and the last batch just has one extra EE roo- not worth the gas.
