This must be predator season.

I lost several of the free range birds over the past two weeks. I have found three, half eaten, in the nest box off the run and four or five in the enclosed room that could only have been accessed through the pop door. All of these happened during the day! We killed a possum last weekend, caught it in the coop after lockup. I thought it would be the culprit and that I would not lose any birds for a while. Wrong. I lost another small one inside, and found a grown hen tucked away beside the fence about twenty yards from the coop, killed, but not eaten.

I have now declared war.

I bought two of he paw traps and set them, baited with mini marshmallows. I also set the live trap and baited it with sardines. I didn't let the chickens out so they will be in the run right next to the traps. I also set up a game camera on the area where the traps are set and where the predator likely entered the coop on the previous occasions. I will catch the sucker even if I have to camp out on the roof of the shop and shoot it myself!!! Grrrrrrrr.

Good luck Wisher.

Happy halloween guys! Here's my contribution:


This is the second year I've tried carving a pumpkin. I'm not really expecting for anyone to show up at the door, but I bought some lollipops and some candy just in case. There is a kids birthday party next door, so maybe they'll get into the spirit.

*Edit* DK, that's the kind of teeth you get if you don't go see the dentist.

I read them in the early fifties. My teacher was Miss Alice Jones. She had taught most of the adults that I knew. We finished her off that year. She retired.
