Raccoons are hell on chickens, I've already declared war and so far have kept the flock safe.
FYI Raccoons have been known to mutilate poultry in cages by pulling their heads or legs off. Several kills may be made during a single night raid with part of one or more carcasses fed upon. Dead fowl may be at the kill site or dragged several yards away. Raccoons are also serious predators of wild bird populations.
Reminds me of the story of the three legged pig....seems the pig had saved an entire family from a burning farm house by going around and waking everybody up....when asked if the pig lost his leg in the fire, the answer was no, but you don't eat a hero like that all at one time....
Black chicken's matter.
ReplyDeleteVigil for Andre at 7pm. Please bring a covered dish to go with the dumplings. There has been a go fund me established in his name for a live trap.

People who ask about cooking rooster have never tried to eat rooster. Blech!!!
ReplyDeleteI've read the recipe for cooking parrot. Put a small rock in the pot with the bird and boil it till the rock is soft.

Tough old rooster like that was probably no good for anything but soup.

Andre looks like he was one bad dude.
ReplyDeleteI found out when I was a little kid how mean an old rooster can be.
ReplyDeleteMy roosters would be outrunning the hens to get away.
