Potpie is a nasty little mouser

[speckledhen]

hey, Carri, hope Potpie's daughters will be good mousers, too. They'd have a feast around here, probably. How old are those pretty girls and Hotwing now?

Randy, guineas and turkeys like snakes too. Just a thought.

Ours will do that, too. It is gross watching one run while carrying the mouse by the tail, and the others all following the leader! What is even grosser is watching them play tug-o-war with a frog. Gross. We have lots of different kinds of frogs on our property and want to keep them here, so that just makes it worse. I like Potpie's name!

Oh my. Maybe you can borrow Potpie for a while! She'd have a great time!

I'm going to watch her today and see if she's found a nest someplace.
Let's see.... Hotwing and Nugget are about 8 months and Potpie is about 6 months. Potpie is just now getting the "dance" from Hotwing.

I can't remember-have they been laying already?

Nugget is laying for sure. Potpie... I'm not so sure. They are the only darker layers that I have. The silkies, d'uccle and cochins have the cream colored eggs, the Buttercup has the white eggs, but I have two different colored brown eggs. One is darker (that's Nugget's for sure) and now I'm getting a lighter brown one. I have a feeling the lighter brown is Potpie, but I haven't caught her nesting yet! I doubt Nugget is doing two different brown colored eggs...

Wow! Aren't you glad chickens aren't 6 feet tall? Mine run the cats away from their food dish.

Ooooh, Gina, scary! I just had a vision of them all rushing me for treats! ((((shudder))))

Mine do that to the dogs! They're like a gang!​

Potpie's welcome at my house anytime. My cat's doing his best to keep the rodent population in check, but could use some assistance.
