Here's my pictures from last night... we tried a new area for the drowning trap (at least it shows proof of concept):



And my friend was back again:

Wisher that is a cute video of your pup and chicken!

A coon got into my coop last night. It found a spot in the tin roof where a screw had been left out and slipped in under it. It killed one chick, one poult, and nearly chewed the wing off of my lone duck. Hopefully, that coon won't see another 24 hours. I'm off to the emergency thread for advice on the duck's care. I hope they heal as well as chickens do. Any advice here?

That was not even one of the funnier interactions between the two of them. What is ironic, the dog will barely touch the dry dog food in the bowl in the house, but let me toss it out the back door and she sucks it up like a Hoover vac! I will also invite the hen inside to eat some out of her bowl (when it has been in there a couple of days, uneaten) and then the dog will stand over the bowl and eat every bite so the hen won't get any. Ha! Ha! Ha!

I don't want it but you are not getting either.

Sorry about your loss Wisher. This is what keeps me up at night. I hope you can assist the duck.

clean the wound , then apply NUSTOCK. Ducks are very resilient

Darn Wisher! I am so sorry about your losses and your poor duck! I hope the duck can recover!

Quote: Is this an antiseptic, wound coat, or what? Is it available at TSC. Should I separate her from her chick buddies?

Sorry to hear about your duck. All I can offer is some duck tape.
But I hope you catch that coon.

Meanwhile....(being the Spook)

A duck walks into a pharmacy, and asks for some Chapstick.
The cashier says, "cash or check?" and the duck says, "Just
put it on my bill."


A man in a Mercedes was driving through the countyside on a
beautiful Saturday afternoon, having a lovely time, when he came
to an area of the road that was covered with a rather large puddle
of water from a previous rain storm. Worried that he was going to
damage the car and its engine in the deep water, he asked a local
farmer (who just happened to be standing near the large pool of
water) how deep the water was. "Arr", said the local farmer "That
water be only a few inches deep!" Relieved, the motorist edged his
car into the water, expecting to come out the other side in no time.
Instead, as he drove in, the water came right up the side of the car,
and the engine sputtered to a halt. Sitting there with the water along
with and a floating weed lapping at the window, the man yelled at the
local angrily: "I thought you said this water was only a few inches deep!!!"
"Well", replied the farmer, "It only come up to the waist on them there ducks."



Aice and Emile went for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and they order the
'Chicken Surprise.' The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as Alice is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she
briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.

'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband, Emile.

He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot.

Emile reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking
around before it slams down.

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and
demands an explanation.

'Please sir,' stammers the waiter, 'what you order?'

Emile replies, 'Chicken Surprise.'

'Ah! So sorry, is mistake' says the attendant, 'I bring you Peeking Duck!'


Spook...who doesn't know duck doctoring'
