Nice job on your coop. We will be changing ours up a bit and I like your pen style a lot.

I CAUGHT THE FOX! I CAUGHT THE FOX! I CAUGHT THE FOX!

Ok for you peeps that are used to country living this is probably not a big deal, but for a suburban baby like me, I feel like a bone fide mountain woman. Woo-hoo!

Now the wildlife guy just has to come pick it up and release it for me so I don't get a citation. He's coming tomorrow.

Poor little fox, he's all mangy and scabby looking. Still I'm glad it's not going to be biting my children / infecting my puppy. Photos later -

you can kind of see the scabbing on the ears from the mange in this photo:

awwww he looks young.... poor thing... Make sure he is relocated at least 60 miles away or he will find his way back =/ maybe he can go to space farms zoo... You should give them a call... PLUS it would give you a reason to go their LOL...

(973) 875-5800

My beautiful young BRLW has been getting picked on by my Ameracuana so much so that she is bleeding on the back of her neck.She let me clean it with soap my husband brings home from the clinic. I put bacitracin on it. I think it needs stitches . Hopefully it will be OK till tomorrow when he gets home. Some times I wish I could smack her.She is a mean thing.

The eggs locked down...

Great story Roberta

If you dont have.....get some blu-kote spray to keep the other hen from going back to the same red/bloody spot.

I'm officially a college student again. I start in sept.
Woohoo. Veterinary Technology. Now I don't have to
be a chemist anymore!!
I'm going to spend 2 days with a friend of mine from
High school her 3 yr old is having surgery wed. To remove
a lump on her chest. She also has to have a bone marrow
test. They think she has a bone infection in her leg.
Poor baby. They say it's not cancer but the kid has been
having surgeries since she was a few moths old. I dunno.
Anyways I hope my eggs don't hatch while I'm gone.
Bad enough mom has to care for 19 chicks and the 2
girls outside. Good thing mom loves chicks.

New beginnings...............a wonderful thing!
I do hope your friends child sees improvement after her surgery.
