Linda, are you in Shreveport? I'm taking a chicken run at the end of the month (in two weeks!) and I will likely be going to Shreveport. It is a bit over half way to my SC partner in the Dallas area.

It is a bit over halfway. You are almost to Dallas when you get to Shreveport.

Great idea. You know, I've never heard of a deciliter. Always a learning experience. Good going.

If for nothing else, for my recipes. The better half picked 350 grams of blueberries today (Linda, how much is that in pounds, grains and ounces?), so I'm going to make a blueberry pie tomorrow. I'll share the recipe with you after that, if you can answer the conversion question.

Quote: Now, see, you are making a number of assumptions that may or may not be valid. First, you are assuming that my chickens could eat a snake. Most of my birds are bantam sized, and are in numerous cages; I'm not sure they have the beak strength to eat the snake. At the very least, I'd have to chop it up into little bits for them to even have a chance to eat it before it spoiled. Most likely, a snake dying here would go to waste - I've found several that got caught in bird netting or whatever; the smell is what drew my attention, so even the local scavengers didn't find them before they rotted. I'm not up to putting a snake in my Cusinart just so the chickens can make use of it.

As I said, it's the rainiest part of the year here. Water is abundant, small prey is abundant, cover - well, have you ever been in a poquoson? A surveyor with many years' experience as an outdoorsman died of heatstroke when he got lost in one a few years ago here. They found his body only a few hundred yards from his truck. I nearly got shot by a couple of kids playing with a .22 near my house a few years ago - they were only about 100 feet from me, and didn't see me (boy, they sure heard me when I heard that bullet rip through the leaves near me, though!!) I daresay something as secretive as a snake would have little trouble avoiding being seen in such conditions. Temperatures are so warm right now, the snakes are active at night, too. This snake didn't get 5 feet long eating my eggs and chicks, so it must be reasonably good at finding prey and avoiding predators. The way I see it, wild animals risk their lives every day: they almost never die of old age. While I understand that this snake's chances in unfamiliar territory aren't good, they are far better than his chances with me and the shovel. Chances are, whether this snake survives for long after being relocated or not, its cause of death won't be either hunger or thirst. Hopefully, whatever kills it actually will eat it, and it will feed more than flies and fungi.
