Weasels will drink the blood of their kills, and eat very little else if there is an abundance, like a pen full of pigeon's.
I've had weasels so bold that they tried to steal a squirrel out of my game pouch when I was hunting. Felt this funny tug, looked, and there is a Weasel 3" from my right elbow.

The drag enclosure thing looked like the best bet to me. Lets your chickens get fresh ground to work every day, bit of variety, and keeps them safe.

PS, not a good idea to name anything that you may end up eating someday.
Take it from a farm boy who knows, it can make life    ...........well, "interesting".

I don't know.  I have a habit of giving lobsters the name of people I wish I had a real life delete key for.

Makes it that much more satisfying to drop them into to the pot and hear that steam whistle that sounds like a scream  :devil

ZOOM~it is a crocadillian, they are from south america, real nasty, way worse then alligators in temperment, right up there with crocodiles, they only reach 8feet, for a big male, "Goliath" was a tad over 4' and nasty as they come,  allthough I did have another one that was docile, at another point I had a sweet alligator pit in my living room, and had a awesome gator that I grew to about 4' he was awesome, allthough tried to bite me every chance he got, him I grew from a baby, the day I gave him to a reptile park in Mass he ripped my finger almost off, over 3 years I had him I was always able to avoid his teeth  lol till the day I gave him away,  I can only get online through my phone or id post up some pics:-(

LOL! Zoom that post was priceless.

Tupac, it sucks...but if you're going to have free range chickens you need to expect to lose some to predators. I have a dozen chickens that were hatched last April. This spring I intend to let them roam freely, with complete realization that I will most likely lose some (I live in Maine, a lot of predators). They're great birds, every one leaves me with an egg everyday (and quite often double yokes!) I do care for them and their safety...even referring to them as my "little girls" but in my opinion, being free range and there being the possibility of being killed is better than them being caged their entire life. At least that is what I would prefer. Hopefully you figure it out.

Mtnman - I enjoyed reading you posts. Very informative and interesting. It's obvious you have a passion for birds.

Yes you are correct. I caught that after I had post. Can't edit posts from a crackberry, however. Keep raising that post count! :aok

What if we all name them after our ex wives?  That in itself would be very "interesting" and possibley downright entertaining come time to gather around the stump out back behind the smokehouse.
