Some pics of the peas. It's pretty cold here. Woke up to a bit of snow this morning.

No photoshopping done. But the purple and bronze colors that show up sometimes. I just love.

Pretty boy, the damp and wet weather make my males train change color also but they do not have bronze in their background

Our female Border Collie will never leave the poultry area. The other two when they see me go towards the poultry area they follow. She sits right between the chicken coop and peafowl coop. I remember just last week there was a fox right next to my chicken coop. Made Thora and Marshmallow fan up. Then came Shades a rolled the fox. I wish I had it on video. It was weird seeing the fox mid day usually I see them at dusk when I step out of my peafowl coop. They seem to know what a 22 is and what it does because when they see it the run into the cattails. The gutsiest predator is the fox the coyotes and coons usually stay away since they must smell three dogs or something but the fox is the only stupid brave one that even gets close.

If it's out in the day time, could be rabid. Make sure dogs current on rabies shots and if you kill it use a shovel to move it and wear gloves and be really really really careful. Did you tell your dad you saw it out in daytime?

We see foxes at night, but like you, it's rare for me to see one in the daytime. I know they eat peas, but I still love the foxes

It is not uncommon to see foxes here in the daytime , they are looking for an easy meal which is not available at night time but then they learn it is not so available during the day time either

, i also see coons out on my rounds sometimes , now if they do not run off when the dogs and i are detected then i would be worried cause that means something is wrong with them.
One should always keep their animals vaccinated cause you never know when they may get bit by a wild critter with something and you would not know until it was to late, especially long haired dogs, better safe than sorry

All my dogs are vaccinated with for rabies. Yep my dad knows. That's why he had me put a gun in my peafowl coop that way if it's near by I can shoot him. I'm fine with foxes when they are in a picture.

We had a visitor this morning, lucky it didn't get breakfast.

250 yards out is still too close.
