Our outside cats Bob and Mo and curly, we lost two wild birds I have not filled the feeders as I felt I was just leading them to slaughter

We were backing out of our driveway one day, looked over at our bird feeder in our front apple tree. I like to check and make sure the feeder has some food in it. Right there! .. in a branch over from the feeder was a Cooper's Hawk. He was swiping his best on the branches, you know, like chickens do after eating. . That tree is only a few feet from our driveway, no leaves in the tree, so clear view of us backing up..and then stopping and watching him. He didn't budge.

I caught a ground squirrel once eating an egg. Last year I was plagued with them. I think it will be better this year.

I'm so glad we don't have to deal with squirrels down in the valley. We have fun spotting them in the canyons. Hope they aren't too bad for you this year .

Two varieties here. Ground and Grey. Ground are worse for chickens. Greys eat the fruit. If it isn’t the weather and birds the squirrels will finish it off.

I have to run at them yelling and waving my arms to get them to leave. Even then they just fly in a circle. Nothing is free ranged here anymore and tops of runs completely covered

I soo wanna join in this!! I was going to set my eggs for March 10th to hatch out on my birthday. They would hatch the 31rst. I could set my eggs sooner as long as they arrive in next few days. Or I could just join in after and hatch later...either way I’ll definitely be following!!
