Thought of
@R2elk when feeding the birds earlier this evening. I shut the gate to the pen and thought one of my Columbian Wyandotte was running along the fence behind the small coop. Not a bird...it was a skunk in there with me about three feet away! Backed out of the pen, opened the gate and tossed a scoop of water at it to encourage it to run out the gate. Whew! A close call! Won't be going to the pens at 7:30 pm again without my pistol.
I make lye soap with hog lard and fine ashtray pumice...like Lava soap. Lye is tricky...if used before curing, it really burns.
. Played that and both dogs came running to see what was in the living room! Lolrotf!
