If one of mine finds a snake they eat it play with it till dead then they eat it.

I haven’t seen mine with any snakes, if they do catch them they ain’t saying nothing! I have seen them with mice.

Do any of you know someone within an hour of Clark County that's currently looking to add 2 five month old pullets to their flock? I'm only asking $20 for both to quickly find them a home. One is a white leghorn and the other is a new Hampshire red

It's tempting, but I think I have all I need now with 8 pullets.

Batting .500 today. Four eggs from eight pullets! One large, one medium and a couple of small or pee wees.

Well, I get about 6 or 7 eggs out of 18 hens every day. That's because they are allowed to retire here. The enjoyment they give me is as valuable as the eggs. Of course it does make my eggs cost me about $7.50 per dozen.

well, I think first [after tend to the chicks, feed the dogs]
I'll water the blue berries, a chipmunk has been getting into the corn garden and nibbling on the zucchini, I dont think I can keep it out,
Some of the corn plants around the outer edges on the east and south sides are a tad yellow, I think the heat dries them out , I'll mulch those edges--
Pick lettuce- carrots- beets- tie up some tomato branches,

I saw a chipmunk yesterday for the first time ever at my place. It was about 25 feet from my garden, sunning on an old pallet. I haven't seen any chipmunk damage to my garden yet though.

I messed up a little with the lettuce seedlings I transplanted a few days ago. They looked good yesterday morning, but I should have watered them. Yesterday afternoon they all looked shriveled and dead. I watered them, and this morning they're looking better, but I think some of the bigger leaves are going to drop off.

My two cockerels' hormones are starting to kick in. They're starting to get more aggressive towards the pullets, chasing them around for a romp, when when pullets want nothing to do with it. I'm thinking about separating the cockerels for a while, until all the pullets have matured more. The cockerels are going after pullets who's comb and wattles haven't grown out yet, which probably isn't a good thing.
