YO GEORGIANS! :)

So we were up late last night....so this morning I was still in bed when the rooster started crowing at 6:45. Not just a few times, but over and over again which is unusual for him. Then about 5 minutes later I hear the chickens make a weird kind of clucking....not the egg song, not the "hey, where is everyone" cluck, not a happy cluck, but one I haven't heard before, so I jump out of bed and go to the door and there is "The Bear" staring at them through the run door! I imagine this is the same one that killed 5 hens and my duck about 5 days ago! And here it is 7am! I mean it is broad daylight and only 6 feet from my back door and there are renters here (like 20 people) and all their smells, the 4 dogs that came, and all their cars and noise! WTH is this bear thinking! The bad thing is that the electric fence we put up is on a timer...from 9 at night to 6 in the morning.... and here it is at 7! Well we went out and ran it off and shot behind him to scare him. It is a juvenile bear...probably just left his mother. Only about 80 pounds, but now we may have a problem if he keeps coming back! Guess we will have to change the timer on the electric fence! May keep the chickens in today.

BUT, sooooo glad all my chickens are safe! Can't afford to lose any more!
 
holy cow! i'd call animal control..it's not safe for even a juvinile bear to be coming out that close to people etc. they'd relocate him if they can find him...I'd call and see what they can do..
 
Hey Everyone, Just thought I would share this great photo of my Granddaughter, Valerie. She was just saying how she loves GeeMa's house. This is my home that we now use as a vacation rental home (in order to keep it because my husband lost his business due to this horrible ecomony!). My DH and I live in the apartment attached to the home when we have renters. When renters aren't here, we stay in the big house. We love it here! And so do my chickens!

That's what we always used when I was growing up a bit west of you in Southeast Alabama. I just wish the long straw pine straw was available.
 
This isn't on the chicken topic, but is there anyone here in North Georgia (Dawson, Cherokee, Pickens, Forsyth area) that would let me take cuttings off of their kiwi plants? I am interested in propegating a few for my backyard.
 
I'm going to start a new project. Because I'm really bored. I'm going to build a homemade incubator, at least try to, even though I have two LG circulated incubator.

It's got a good grip to it because I can pick it up and it stays together.

Wish me good luck!
