Surviving Minnesota!

[MagpieDucks]

Got my entry form for the Hutchinson show filled out. Bringing a grand total of 2 birds. Both Orpington Bantams. I don’t have much to choose from at this point.

My bear has not been back recently. I am hoping it is the one that recently was involved in three separate pet attacks in Duluth, not far from me as a bear travels. That one was disposed of by the DNR. One dog went to veterinary care and one was killed. Don't know about the third, but as I understand they were all accompanied by the owner when attacked.
Forecast from Thursday on does not look very promising with even the possibility of snow. It seems as though the Dakotan's are in for 6 to 8 inches of white stuff ?

Good morning.

I hope that was the bear, how horrible that it was killing pets. We haven't really had our autumn have we.

You are correct on that, just saw the storm warning. Not sure about the east side of the state but ours is coming with 40mph winds too

Usually bears hate dogs as in they run away from them. I imagine these poor canines were tied up defenseless in their yard.

4 days=3 Marans eggs

The one in the middle might be the other ones. It’s more round, no speckles.

Sentry got his spurs and index...toes clipped. I saw him kinda running slower and a bit waddley. Checked his feet and “whoa. “. Hopefully this helps the boy out and saves on a hen being ripped open

We have had little of our normally beautiful Fall weather. Too wet cloudy and dreary. Now the white stuff is approaching if the weather prognosticators are to be believed.
BC, as relates to the dogs attacked by the bear it seems that all were being walked by the owner ? I do know that the bear hunting success rate was the highest ever recorded in Mn. this year. So it seems we have bumper crops of bears, coyotes and timber wolves ?

BC I think I recognize that leaf .

Haha... Jerry. Not quite yet.. but hopefully in a few short 10 years or so.

What a great fall day, hard to believe it’s over tomorrow.

I have most the stuff done I needed to get done, so I am sitting on the deck relaxing and watching the young chickens. It is so relaxing, I have not had time to do this in a while.

It’s going to be so different if I actually get rid of them.

If anyone wants to take a pair of Doms to Hutch I have a couple that would do ok. It the last few weeks the U shape has come in.

The best of course is still missing his tail feathers.....

But my grandson now has a healthy respect/dislike of chickens..


I have 2 pullets that would do well.

A cockerel that is ok.

poor tailless guy!
