Official Squatch Watchers

I try to avoid talking about my chickens to non-chicken people.

Ahahahaha, I just wrote something fowl (foul--get it?) and immediately erased it. My nasty-azz Jersey mouth is gonna get us shut down!

Gawd, where is Smuv when you need her the most! I miss that crazy wench. She would've beenall over this like--like--I dunno, raccoons all up in my chickens...
It is good to catchup!

Thanks for the happy birhtday

I hope it was fabulous, and that you got lots of presents! (Or at least one good little one) :D

@pitbullmomma , now that i'm not giggle fitting your attacker sounds like a raccoon. Suzi and Negan may have hurt themselves freaking out. And your hubs isn't right, nails are not enough coons can just pull them out just like it did the staples.

I am going to show this to hubby.

He used to own his own construction company for 17 years and thinks he knows EVERYTHING about building. Which he does, but he doesn't know about raccoons and won't listen to me!

The man makes a mean gate, but raccoons are a real special kind of problem. The building prowess means zilch to a raccoon.:)

ring nails with washers MAY work... they pull the wire off the nail. the washer covers the whole grid and it has 4 wires to pull on
 
Hey, if I’m going to be a breeder, I need to use the correct terms. The correct term for a male chicken over one year is cock bird. Rooster is more of a layman’s term.

SHE SAID IT AGAIN!!!!

Cock bird, lol. :lau :oops:
A terminology Nazi!

Breeders will still use Rooster...unless they are language Snobs!

:lau

Well. Aren't they a bunch of cocky you-know-whats! ;)

He just nailed some hardware cloth to a piece of wood with what he called "U-nails." They look like STAPLES with plastic crap on them. He said, "Here. Try to rip this off. If you can't do it, a raccoon can't."

I ripped that puppy off in two seconds with no effort at all.

He better fix that sh*t quick, cuz if I lose any more chickens I'm goona go bananas. And I will throw the next dead chicken on his dead-animal-fearing, bird-phobic self as he naps. I am not kidding!
 
All it takes is screws and washers. Nails and staples got no grip, they hold stuff up fine but not on worth a doo. Got to love screws, iv'e become a hoarder of them along with the little bits for the ones with funky heads.
