I know the coyotes are out there, every now and then I'll hear them howling and yoddling during the night. I always think they make all that noise when they have a fresh kill. <BR/><BR/>Our neighbors all have big rottweilers, and we have a Golden Retriever, so I think the scent of the dogs must keep them away (our Golden usually sleeps inside at night, especially during the winter). I've been letting my hens roam around during the day, but shut them up in their cozy coop at night. W<BR/><BR/>e've also had an owl flying around the last few nights, hopefully he's taking care of the rodents, and not hankering after one of my chickens :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-65469455908048138792007-02-08T16:38:00.000-05:002007-02-08T16:38:00.000-05:00i have to say, I love the patterning on the bird. ...i have to say, I love the patterning on the bird. I guess it is a guinea fowl. It looks like polks dots, very rich brown, and I like the pictures of the other chickens the dark one looks like bark from a tree.<BR/><BR/>PattyPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078593744462216549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-67828227635699669222007-02-08T14:53:00.000-05:002007-02-08T14:53:00.000-05:00We used to hear the local coyote pack running the ...We used to hear the local coyote pack running the ridgeline behind our house when we lived in VT, but I guess our dog (also a border collie) kept them away.<BR/><BR/>Since we moved to Utah, we live close enough to suburbia to not have many predators, but we had a wild mink attack my angora bunnies about 7 weeks ago. I do not want to experience that again.Anne Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17594949556583604315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-67585188652876514002007-02-08T14:15:00.000-05:002007-02-08T14:15:00.000-05:00Wow - what a morning you had!

I went to my first sheep and wool festival in the fall and saw a sheep shearing firsthand. My children were worried it was hurting the sheep, but I reassured them that the sheep were fine. I was surprised to see them being sheared in the fall instead of spring, but I guess every farm does it a little differently. Thanks for all your farm stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
