Silence Is Not Golden Here

I actually enjoy live-trapping
Caught around 6 opossums in 3-4 months once, since we live right on the edge of the woods

What do you do with the live opossums in the trap?

Relocate them. I know that that's bad for the local ecosystem and not great for the animal either, so nobody jump on me, but none of us has the heart to kill vs. relocate.

How is everyone today?

How is everyone today?

Not quite awake.

Big plans for the day?

Church, then helping set up for a camp, and then starting a mini-local mission trip... so busy!

Sounds fun!
I don't think I am going to get many steps in today.
I'll be watching incubator tv. In slow motion.

You have fun doing that, with regular advertisements on here of what's up

I followed the feather trail. I found where the fox tore into the chicken. It literally chewed off her leg band.
That chicken is most certainly gone.
I also now know the woods where it resides. Watch out parent fox; I'm coming for your family next.

On a kind of humorous note it killed it on my new neighbor's property. Welcome to the neighborhood

What a nice welcome present for the neighbors.
Tell them to keep their foxes fed on their side of the fence from now on.

My mother caught a fox in a live trap at her place, but it has only ever gone after the cat food on the porch and the eggs that get laid when the girls are free ranging: I think her fox is lazy. The raccoons and possums go in after the chickens any chance they get, so those are trapped and dispatched.

I’m not going to lie: There are many times when I wish some mystery predator would get (only) my polish rooster, yet he always prevails... We found a large feather from some bird of prey in our yard the other day: maybe it could be selective if I painted a big red X on Jeraldo, lol...

I know! I know! That’s really not nice of me, but he is so very useless. Other people may love him, but I just don’t. I’ve tried.

With my luck, it would be my favorite best broody mama leghorn that would get snatched... so instead we remain vigilent.
