Mine don't return once they leave (apart from one hen, who would rather just keep nesting than caring for her actual chicks)

good to know, thanks!

Mine also don't come back, unless they never leave.

Hoping you and yours stay safe during the incoming weather.

Subsidence. Best weather we've had in months.

Sadly, *something* came and ate two of mama hen's hatchlings. Traps are rebaited, re-set, and re-located.

Aw damn. I'm sorry.

Neither of my live traps have caught anything in weeks. The bait has been eaten out of my rat trap several times without catching anything. I've caught a couple of mice with a mouse trap, and now even that is being raided without catching anything! WTH!

The fly traps, however, have taken a few thousand flies out of circulation.

Nice. Is the storm going to change that?

The storm is the CAUSE of that. I'm on the north west side. Dry air is being pulled off the continent, over our heads, and drawn into the storm.

Tuesday? May be a different story when we are on the SW side - but likely not.

 

[U_Stormcrow]

if we were on the east side, say... Tampa? That would suck.

I have a good friend who lives in Live Oak. Looks like he's right in the path.

Latest predator. It didn't look too good. Staggered a bit and flys were flying around it. Flys are not bothering the chickens. Very light weight. About the size of a squirrel. Fit through a 2 x 4 fence.
