Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

[NanaK]

Live and learn. Just wish it wasn't so fatal to my hatchlings. Has to be a rat/rats. Nothing else is small enough to potentially get in, the few gaps are quite small. I've alrready filled in with concrete were one dug underneath the wall.

Maybe hardware cloth apron on that side? 2-3 ft tall hw cloth is way cheaper than the tall stuff.

You are definitely having a rough go at it this year. Hope things get back on track for you soon, you've made some great progress!

Weasel?

Have you set any more eggs?

12 in the RV. The birds I took to the neighbor, as expected, were chased by the neighbors beautiful dog. Dog did not get them, but they didn't come back. If this area can support a feral flock (I doubt it, but maybe...) now is the time for them to get started. Doesn't get any better than this.

and they tested clean just a week ago!

Would a feral flock be a good thing? How many birds did you take to the neighbor?

And, what's new on the homestead?

 

[U_Stormcrow]

2 birds. No, a feral flock would not be a good thing.

Blackberries are just starting to go ripe. VERY good this year, not like the last two. Rain all week is expected, maybe the seeds I planted will do something useful.

Health scare with a parent. Things are better now.

A/C broke, fixed.

NPIP renewed.

Nothing much?

Glad things are better.

We could use some rain here, so send it on up when you've had enough.

Pop up Tstorms so far. Less than 1/10th inch in two days (total). Incredible light show though. Some of my neighbors are likely flooding out - which is what you expect when you build on a swamp. I did not.

Mind. Blown. No perk tests required?
