Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Molpet]

It's just a loop of stupid fast food ads and "word of the day" and trash like that. I hate it.

one station has the current weather and predictions with the ads next to the radar.

 

[Ladies-Eight]

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Tea is ready.

Temperature is in the 70s mostly cloudy.

Have a great day!

I have not encountered such a thing - a benefit of living in a state where you don’t pump your own gas!

That's nice you don't have to see ads while getting gas.

 

[notabitail]

I was the same when I moved here. But you get used to it and now I love it!

Mexico does the whole pumping gas for you thing. At least the one gas station we've stopped at there does.

We have our own source
No adds.

After the investment we only pay for electricity on trips beyond 400km (to and from).

Old and new solar panels.

Home charging.

I'm jealous! We plan on fitting solar to our house if we can ever afford it.

 

[MaryJanet]

Solar is high on my list too.

His head and neck feathers appear to have certainly lightened up! Pinecone's name seems especially pertinent to his appearance


Sylph is looking especially lovely despite spending her day avoiding the weather. How are those boys behaving? Nice that the rat problem is only in your imagination

Some people, lots of pet owners for example react badly to be told their pet has any sort of parasite. You can even show them the paraiste on the creature or in the housing and they'll not admit it. Something similar happens about having rats in gardens it seems.

 

[Shadrach]

any of it suitable for an ambush or trap?

I am reluctant to put down poison. None that I know of are instantaneous and foxes, stoats, weasels rely on the rats for food. Traps are not reliable and while I've caught a few rats with a bucket trap this rat is way to smart to get caught with such.

Dry but quite windy with a fairly constant 25mph wind with gusts of 40mph plus. The chickens were not interested in going out on to the field but did go out on to the extented run.
This lot do not like the wind.
