I actually used to feed them (bad me - I know) but once I realized they weren't even appreciative of it (and nasty) I stopped.

One year we had 11 calves due....ended up with 4 living ones..which seriously cuts into your profit margin....it will all get better once you get through to spring....and in the meantime? keep the wine flowing!<br />KrisQuiltedSimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125600585948205404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166418462846507448.post-56913259824418389642011-01-22T11:42:08.474-08:002011-01-22T11:42:08.474-08:00*didn't get shut*didn't get shutMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667293599627184944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166418462846507448.post-41029199350644227382011-01-22T11:41:40.732-08:002011-01-22T11:41:40.732-08:00@ Andrea - The coop is really solidly built, they ...@ Andrea - The coop is really solidly built, they actually just waltzed right in because the door to the henhouse didn't get right at dusk. I think those buggers were lying in wait. :(<br /><br />And oooooh yes, wine time is nigh! That night I had a little nip of some vanilla infused bourbon that my sis-in-law made me. The perfect tonic for jangled nerves. ;)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667293599627184944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166418462846507448.post-20030276006388703362011-01-22T07:26:46.447-08:002011-01-22T07:26:46.447-08:00Boo :( Raccoons are invasive predators!!

I've worried about getting chickens here, too, because we have a TON of hawks (BIG ONES TOO!) not to mention raccoons and foxes :( Maybe its time to hit the home brewed wine & relax a bit!

I saw the eyes with my headlamp but couldn't make out the body.<br /><br />I'm still hoping that Berry is out there somewhere. She was always a scrappy gal, so if any of our hens could whoop some raccoon butt, it'd have been her.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667293599627184944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166418462846507448.post-5470997351801885652011-01-21T11:14:28.811-08:002011-01-21T11:14:28.811-08:00Gosh, I'm sorry.
