Bummer! 😒

I have a Golden 300 Layer, which is, for those of you who are aren't familiar, a high production Khaki Campbell hybrid cross. I got her last spring as a duckling. This duck started laying very young (forget the age) and never went through a fall/winter molt and keeps on laying. She has slowed...

How do you shoot Sparrows? I tried with a pellet gun but that didn't work well at all. And why is that big v trap better than the smaller trap? I have a regular sparrow trap and they will sit right on it and not touch tbe grain inside where they go in.
