Welcome back @Sueby Oh I forgot to celebrate this morning publicly(here). I woke up to low humidity and 63F, tonight will be pleasant too as a cool front actually made it through we will still be in the mid to upper 90's though!
There was the briefest spattering of rain but nothing survived the sunrise still in Extreme Drought conditions.
I called the Deputies on over this morning so they could cite my neighbor and inform him that I am legally allowed to either sue him in a civil action or just straight up shoot his dog should I see it running at large or coming on my property or even just sniffing my fence as by Texas law that dog has all the legal protections of a coyote. That legal threshold was met by observing it on our property and attacking our hens. The hen is fine she is just a naked neck silkie now with some minor degloving. She is highly fashionable with Blu-Kote accessories and living it up in her own private apartment. Regardless, he got his warnings from Johnnie law and I didn't have to talk to the jerk. I did get the weedeater out and knocked down all potential nesting sites and low and behold my hens are back in production! 7 eggs so far today and sunset is still 6 hours away!
