Ok, I'm not sure there are any this far north but probably. I know someone in Pillager found one in the coop a few yrs ago.

I would see how long it could hold it's breath for...

Then roasted it....for. Jerry...

I knew it ! You even seem to know how to cook one .

 

[BantyChooks]

Wow You have a possum pound way up there? Is it close to the Beluga exchange?

Naw, more near the Caribou Protection Society.

How would you dispatch a possum, anyone?

Drown it

Or shoot it. One of those.

Poor man. I bet he loves eating at your house.

So it's turns out that fox that my husband shot "at" was found dead in the inlaws treating shed. Apparently he got hit after all. I guess I have to stop giving my husband a hard time now. One down one to go.

Cooked and canned just for you...

I have made major changes today.

I moved Ed out of the PC girls and moved Knucklehead in.....

When I moved Ed out, Him and Hobbles got into a huge rooster fight.... Ed ran and hid from Hobbles. I picked Ed up and comforted him and set him back down in an open area in the barn..he ran and hid again.

When I told Judy Hobbles and Ed got into a fight she said " Poor Hobbles, its no fair, he has no feet."

When I told her Hobbles won, she refused to believe it. ED just refuses to fight back. For a large old rooster, Ed is just too gentle. He has always been that way. I am thinking he was abused at the place I got him from....

Or maybe I don't cuddle him as well as his old owner did.


I have lights on all my breeders now 15 hours a day.

offer still open to take him...

Look what I found in my coop this a.m. I went out to do the work that I proposed to do in an earlier thread. When I was done digging I opened the door to let the hens come out. They all came out but the one silver pullet who was on a roost making such a fuss I went back in to see why. There was this little critter rolled up by their water. I figure it snuck in after dark last night but before I locked the door. I read what they are capable of online. Not very purty. Like the DH likes to say to me - just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.

Yikes, glad the girls are ok. He will be back. I'd add hardware clotcloth to that pen.

Ralphie, do you have a case of this at your house ? Perhaps you could invite the Segler's to Thanksgiving dinner and have this as part of the menu ?

The decision to release a predator is often one regretted. I know when I released the Great Horned Owl from my pigeon loft the guys at the club thought it an error in judgement. I don't have many of those, but admit I probably made one there. They are a majestic bird, and I don't have a hatred for them as I do hawks. Now I have a pair of them hooting at night, and if a bird stays out after dark I fear it will not be alive in the morning.
Holms, have you shot Bambi's father yet or have you been reduced to shooting Bambi ?
It's ok if you did shoot Bambi because you can't eat da rack.

Layers, only two open cows is very good. The bull was tending to business.
