Ah, okay! That's too bad you couldn't get any there.Tookie, I was planning to get some pullets from Bird&Bee Farm back in April but they didn't have staff to assist me on a Monday (my only available day, due to my travel situation). So I went with my second choice, Mother Clucker's in West, TX. So far, so good, once I finally confirm that my 3 pullets are indeed pullets.
Haven't been here in awhile!...I have extremely sad news, as of Monday, I lost my dog, Gracie, to what I think was a cougar!I was feeding and watering my birds before going to work, it was 4:20am. She barked twice, then let out a blood curdling scream or yelp for about 3 seconds, then silence! I don't think it was a coyote cause she was taken to be fed to whatever it was cubs or pups. Coyotes will kill a dog but usually don't eat that kill. She only weighed about 6lbs...not as big as a jack rabbit.
There have been more sightings of cougars in the San Antonio area in recent months and especially up into the hill counrty. Just everyone watch your small animals when they are outdoors!
I'm so sorry!
Well, the last time we had a cougar in the area, (confirmed) the deer were bedding down right up against the house. The past few weeks to the incident, the deer have been bedding down next to the house.
I'm about 45 minutes from there, but in a very rural area, so none of that going on here. Hopefully they don't give you too much trouble getting your permit and you can go on chickening in peace! Welcome to the Texas thread!
