Surviving Minnesota!

[Cebarmlds]

We’re loading the camper this morning. On and off I hear the egg song. Dog loaded up on the truck. She won’t budge for fear of being left. I go down to the coop to collect my eggs.

Predator call. Fox forced through hard ware cloth popped nails. Professional job. 3 dead birds. Lucy -my big glorious blrw, my bo pullet, and my dom rooster. Heads ripped right off.

2 1/2 hours later after repairs to my run. We are in the road. I don’t want to go though, now.

BC sorry to read about the loss of birds. I have lost my share while they free range but not in run or coop. Knock on wood.
The predators need to be eliminated. Once they find a source they are likely to return. Either elimination or a LGD.

Chick room in the new coop is pretty close to done. Today I will be painting it and possibly adding the shelf pen in. For the layer part the roof needs a little more fixing and then the doors need to be figured out. I am hoping to have the current laying flock moved in on the 8th, and hopefully chicks by the 10th

Got the first egg from this year's pullers. It was roughly the size of a Reese's Pieces egg you get around Easter. But they're making progress. It was also in the nesting box.
