Chicken News


We integrated Lulu Lorp back into the hen house. She has pen feathers already, it was 10 days ago that she was attached. The laundry room works out ok for an infirmary. However, bad news, Kalyani saw 2 small fox near the hen house, and scared them away. It turns out they have a den not for into the bushes from the hen house. Any ideas? Our neighbor suggested, gasoline, bleach, and gun. That is not appealing. I would like to live and let live.

I forgot to relate a action of importance. I left Kalyani on what we thought an emergency trip to Gary's across the road. She was to get the last of the chickens into the pen and follow. Well, she locked herself into the pen.(the possibility of that happening has been present, dreaded, but this is the first). After a long time, (there was no emergency, and so I chatted.) She crawled out through the chicken door!!

Gino says to trap them with a have-a-heart trap and have your town relocate them. It worked with the raccoons in our yard.

Great idea, Gino. We could even relocate them ourselves, I suppose. Would we need to get the whole family at once?

I think you'll need to catch them one at a time.

The image of Kalyani crawling through the chicken door is priceless! I'm sorry, but to me the trap idea doesn't seem feasible.

The next time you come we will show you how latched in can happen.
