busy day and 0 chickens

June 24th, 2007 at 12:23 am

Had 1 chicken left. DD #3 left the coup open and now we have no chickens. We have not caught any coons in the traps yet, only cats. But, the tracks we finally found were coon tracks. (found some bloody ones under the hay in the coup). Still have 3 ducks though. I have ordered more chicks, and they are due to arrive this coming week.
Took the 3 little ones to a nearby dairy today. It was family day. All events were free, unless you bought something at their store. We got a free hotdog and french fry lunch, free samples of cheese and milk, milked cows, toured the farm and bottling plant and had some games for kids. Lots of displays also. They do this once a year. The rest of the time they charge for their tours.

People don't believe how rural it is where I live. If I can get it to upload, I am trying to post a picture of downtown of the nearest town. Whats in the picture is it. 3 buildings.

    So sorry about your flock. I've been there. I gave 12 of my new hens to my foster dtr & her family, as they had lost their flock to a mtn lion. They have since big cat proofed their run & coop, so it is safe for the "ladies" now. We're managing fine with just a dozen hens.....I'd share if I were closer!

    I'd go rural over the new city I'm in any day! Enjoy it.

    Raccoons are such opportunists! Would a dog (that has no taste for chicken) help?

    My sister lives in rural Missouri too, but her town has an IGA and a post office and a COUPLE of banks! A virtual metropolis! Smile
