Its an 8 foot long 2x4. Today was their first day out of the coop(accidently). I just propped it up their temporarily. It worked though. They all went home right before dark
 
I couldn't imagine being without a dog anymore. Or just having one dog for that matter. Except during the night. Then I could do with a bit fewer dogs in the bed. We have a six foot wide bed, and somehow two small labradors and a little dachshund manage to take up about 4 feet of it, leaving me and Karin squeezed in between them.
 
Do y'all think this should be posted in "Emergencies/Diseases/Injuries and Cures"?

Just kidding, folks, I thought this was funny........ don't get mad.
 
I actually do have a problem, and I would like some suggestions on ways to solve it. I have moles tunneling under my coop. I don't know what they are finding there, but they are undermining the dirt floor and making it difficult to clean and causing my carefully leveled dirt floor to have pits. My coop is covered, has a dirt floor, and I clean it by raking and shoveling what is picked up (no litter as they only stay in there at night and free range all day.) I assume the moles are finding something - worms, grubs, etc. - to eat, but why are there more of those things under the coop than in the grassy or wooded areas just a few feet away? Last year, I added salt to the soil in an effort to break the reproductive cycle of the cecal worm. I then realized that I would be unable to compost the droppings and opted not to do that again. I added a layer of fresh sand in the coop and leveled it again. Then, the mole issue. It is so bad that when walking in the coop, sometimes my foot will sink into the floor to a depth of about four inches! This was a hard packed floor just last year. I don't want to poison them. Any experience or thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Not a lot of help here but I can say if someone suggests mothballs it doesn't work. We tried it with voles and it didn't do anything.

The hubris is getting a little deep, n'est-ce pas?

Much more of this and the Block button will be enacted, which would be a shame because civilized discourse is a basic element of learning and sharing.
