That's a handsome pasture boy too! I'm so glad he came in so peaceful! Did he sleep with the flock?This is nice. I shut garden gates and let pasture cockerel out of roo pen for a little freedom. After awhile he hopped the fence and uneventfully mingled with the flock. Just like that.View attachment 3335622

My chickens are awesome. I wonder where everyone will go to sleep tonight?
It has been raining off and on all day. A little heavy right now and pretty awesome. Good day today.
Wow. I still have coop cams on my to-do list.... curious what I'll see. I have multi-catch traps that don't harm them. For the tender hearted, it lets you release them elsewhere. To be honest, quick kill might be more humane though because a lot of relocated critters die before the find everything they need to survive. That's a hard, slow death Im guessing.Ugh you guysā¦I gotta find a way to get rid of the RATS!! I found a whole corner of my big coop door chewed off today so they can get inside the coop! Little jerks!

I use mothballs dropped down the holes for rock squirrels...it might work for moles too. Doesn't kill them but does beautiful to drive them away.Have my fingers crossed. Fighting moles today. Got some of those light up smoke bombs you stick down the run. Additionally, ran my blow dryer to force the smoke down into all the tunnels. Had smoke coming up through the grass and other places. Kept the flock locked up until the air cleared. They were not happy for that time, but later got to play in all the fallen leaves.
