Hope your day is good stay safe and hydrated

Heading out to clean the coop and tie up some tomato plants before it gets too hot.
*dang those tomato hornworms by the way!
Even the chickens don’t want anything to do with them!

I woke this morning to the neighbors chickens screaming again.
It was barely light out and the crows were yelling too.

Nothing I can do about it. No way for me to help them.

Today I will be checking my aprons on my coops. They been buried several years so I need to check for weak points. Other neighbors have alerted us to the fox being active and seeing on multiple occasions it carrying a hen off.

Security is so important! A couple houses down and across the alley they are hustling to build a coop. They have 20ish birds roaming the yard that only has short chain link.

SMH today.

A couple of my broody hens have been successfully broken!

I am down to 7 again.

RJ, We look forward to hearing more about your career change as time allows.

Ugh, I feel horrible today.

Yesterday, my nose started running and I got a scratchy throat. Today, I just feel miserable. It didn't help that I had to work through most of the night.

Caught two more coons last night. That makes 7 in 5 days.

Sorry Rae. Maybe take some zinc and vitamin C. Feel better.

Do you pluck those nasty buggers off the maters?
I hope not to see those.

They are so destructive!

I always debate about those.. they turn into a hawk moth... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manduca_quinquemaculata
I usually have a volunteer mater in a bad spot that I move a few to.. my chickens eat them too.. and there are wasps lay eggs in them

I forgot about Vit C, thanks I'll take some now. Feeling a little better. I took something to help with the lack of sleep (homeopathic remedy) and I'm feeling less like I'm dragging.
