Yes, be confident and able to practice. The problem with the catapult is getting enough cows. :lau

agree. If you target an entry or create a funnel to know what is using the entry, the snares can be limited. The use of cameras will show you what is using the path. I agree with your solution of putting up fencing. Deer fencing and then reinforce that for the rock chucks. That allows...

Verify the ordinance states "gun" which specifies explosive force. gun /ɡən/ noun 1. a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise. But arrows, slingshots and dart guns are...

The roaming dogs don't go after the woodchucks? Since they dig, follow the fencing guidelines and bury fencing 18" down around everything you want to keep them out of. Digging in your gravel won't be fun.

Someone rang the dinner bell? Well, like the Queen said, off with their heads. Put the quail cage back on the remaining plants. They will return now that they've found a buffet. How are they getting into the greenhouse? Open door or digging in? I hope they aren't going through the walls.

Sounds like a beautiful setup. Pictures when you have it where you want to show it off. I keep my chicken, quail and dog feed in metal trashcans in convenient locations. Plastic gets chewed through. Metal gets pooped on. Thankfully, I haven't had any issues since I went with the steel. We...

Good morning! 80°F and 90% humidity makes for a thick air. Forecast for a high of 87°F and clouds. No rain. Maybe.

There is nothing like jumping into something head first. Sit back and enjoy learning. Have you researched integration of old birds with younger ones? You should keep the chicks separated from the adults for 3-6 weeks. The see-no-touch method is best and I use a chicken tractor for the...

What does this GIF mean to you? Died and gone to heaven? Skeleton represents death, so Kiki's "I'm dead"? This is confusing me.

No damage. No trees down. I'm east of Houston and caught a small band that dropped a lot of rain. I'll check my gauge later. But the ditches handled it this time so less than 5 inches.

I survived. Still have power. I know NW Houston is out of power and cleaning up a lot of trees. Hope everyone is good this morning. The Trinity was flood stage last week and will be flood stage this week again. Drive safe.

The news reports and downtown really got it. Lots of people not going to work today. Several areas without power still.

All good. We caught an edge and really didn't see more than 30 minutes of rain. Flooding over on the river though is going to get worse again. It was just starting to go down. Lots of water in the area.

@Kiki I had a decent hatch 10 out of 27 eggs. The other guy had 1 out of 36 hatch with a bum leg that didn't survive. I had 1 with splayed legs and one that I helped out that didn't thrive, so 8 survived. I think he ran the humidity too high. But how are your hatches? The genetics seem a...

Think positive! Put on a cheerful attitude. I am not having to shovel snow this winter and there isn't any ice on the roads. I don't have bears in my coop and the family is getting along. I ran the squirrels off the mulberries and now we have mocking birds and blue jays getting fat. The...
