morning sean
its been snowing here, should say, just a very light dusting, changed over from rain so you know not much, still green under the trees

Any snow at all is "bad snow"

Grammy so glad you dropped in. We are like ships passing in the night .

I'm never sure when I'll be on here, mostly in the morning -but sometimes it just depends. Hope your doing well

He @Don 27 I so love your melanisic game fowl.... Pretty all round

When i move back up to the house I will be building a poultry house... it will be 24 x 24 feet... with Four partitions and one sick bay...

I am enamored with Sumatras which are half way between LF and Bantms They are survivors and great broodys too. I am hoping to condition them to roost in the coop at night. So I can use them to raise up Guinea Keets

They are some what melanistic... as well.

Vary nice I can't wait to see what the coop looks like. We were actually going to build a bigger coop to.

No issues I see plenty of them they go one way I go another... win win. I had a neighbor clearing some brush for me once. He told me he killed two rattlesnakes. They were as big around as a mans forearm and about five feet long.

I asked him what he did with them... He grinned and said "they are marinating in Teriyaki. Snake is good eating but full of bones so its best to be eaten with your fingers.

He and I are pretty much in agreement about the wild life. ONly time we kill something is if they are a threat. I suspect he cooked them up on his wood burning stove...

I am very careful about where I place my hands when working out in the yard. Especially if there is a plie of wood to be moved. They seek out shade and darkness in the heat of day.

But I make a lot of noise on purpose using my walking stick to bang on the ground or rap on the wood. They leave. The only threat I see is to my dogs. There is a rattle snake immunization but it has to be done every six months. Its better to take them to a rattle snake class to teach them to stay away.

Dogs usually get bit on the face so its important to make sure their air passages are working. Horses too they get bit on the nose and they are gonners... Cant breath out of their mouth... YOu have to cut lenghts of Garden hose and gently insert them into their nostrils so when their nose swells up they dont suffocate.

Omg poor horses! . I hope this doesn't happen to often.
