Crunch time tomorrow.

Had to turn on the water heaters for te night. Forecast minus 10. But clear tommorow and plus 2.
So 12 young birds hatched Dec 28 to January 6 have their first time out. Not too much snow around. Windy forecast but now or never.
Yesterday replaced a 4 x 8 plywood sheet on back of loft. Where the yearlings are nesting. Last few nights some critter has been gnawing at the bottom of the panel. Just abou got a hole through it. Cannot figure out what it could be. No bears around here. Coyotes yes but with the dogs around usually stay away.

you got it a bit warmer that us right now, high of -4 tomorrow, it's been a long cold winter glad it's finally warming up. i was late in pairing up my birds this year, i need eggs with in the next 2 weeks to be able to ship to the cu race i think

Yes. Cold winter here also. Colder than usual anyway. Nice talking with you. Have to take out the dogs then bed. Take care now.

thawing now, watch out for floods.........

Hope you get what ever it is trying to get in the loft hal

No idea what it is. Badger maybe? But they are scarce around here. Not much snow so no tracks. Should snow again in a few days but minor accumalation.

I should keep a look out for the Abominal Snowman, our main problem is rats, they think the rat poison you buy is actually their basic diet, the only thing I have had any success with is anti freeze, but if not controlled they can be a real nuisance.

Regards.

Rat poisen that works. 1 cup sugar. 1 cup flour. 1 cup baking Soda. Mix. Put in containers. Rats eat it readily. Baking Soda reacts with acids in rats stomach. Rats cannot pass gas. Kills them.
