It was a good design made out of inferior materials so I spent some time ripping it apart and making is sung and weather tight. My wife found a vendor of chickens and soon we have six bird housed and happy. About two months into this endeavor we came home to carnage. A bob cat had taken a fancy to our birds and it would not be denied. There were holes in the wire from claw slashes. There were great paw prints on top of the structure and worse, the offending cat had managed to pull up the wire at a corner and gain entry into the house. Not one chicken was left alive. Two looked to have actually died of fright without a mark on them. Of two we only found the wings and two were uncounted for. The chickens have not been replaced.tony.mon wrote:We had one melon left on the vine in the garden, I had it protected with straw and fleece and was hoping to get it through the winter with no frost damage.
But one of the bloody chickens has eaten it.
I have a white one, a black one and a brown one and wasn't sure which one ate the bloody thing?
But then I thought back to Biology lessons, and of course! it was the black one- it's got more melanin.
To be honest, that probably works better spoken than written, but hey, it's late, I've had a hard day, put up with what you get.
Oh & welcome back Jim. Where you been hiding ?
are they woolless sheep :-)
