Update on my neighbor's raccoon...
So, yesterday I didn't let the my remaining 3 5-6 month olds out until mid-morning with the plans of putting them back in the coop mid-afternoon. Should be way outside hunting times for coons. WRONG!!

At 1:00 straight up, I hear a ruckus, look out the window to see the rotten little varmint running off with my white cockerel. R U KIDDING ME?!?

I race out the front door to chase him but wasn't fast enough. By the time I got outside I was only able to see him going over the fence into "his" backyard with my baby. Now Alice is gone too.



I was sooooo upset!! My girlfriend and DH did their best to console me.

Last evening we decided to live trap the coon on our own and take him out into the country and release him on the QT. I planned to lok today for a trap I can barrow. Low and behold, 12:15 this afternoon and I hear the chicken alarms go off. (The 2 remaining birds are on lockdown with the 6-week olds now.) I run out back and there he is...back for thirds. REALLY!?! It's broad daylight for Pete's sake.

I chased him off and went straight to my feed store to get a trap.



Now I'm ready for the little so and so.

Got some pics of one of my porcelain girls here - Meet "Her Majesty". I just love this girl, she is not even a year old yet and just to die for. Also got some new pics of our paint girl Duchess and our blue partridge chick being super cute and sun bathing in the yard. Her Majesty got her name from her Holier than Thou demeanor. She is super sweet and friendly but it should be viewed as a privilege to even be in her presence. Duchess of course was named due to the fact she is very social and sweet but very high and mighty the way she carries herself. Our blue partridge chick I am still not quite sure what gender is on them, but either way I am sure we will find a suitable name for them as well. The baby is such a sweet heart, curled up on my lap and took a mini cat nap in the yard yesterday. We are due for a small hatch from the BBS pen. Looking forward to playing and loving on some new babies... :)

What are the chances that all those fertile eggs that grew to the end, wouldn't hatch!? And under hens!??!?! what could have went wrong?

I bought a hygrometer and themometer today but their meant for reptiles will it be okay to use them for incubating chicks

I would imagine that this would work out just fine. You're monitoring the humidity and temperature whether it was a reptile or an incubator.
