The chickens had visitors today!

February 22, 2021 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Ted was able to push the opossum back under the fence (the same spot where it came in), and it played dead the entire time.

Ted went to lock up the chickens and wouldn't let the girls go. They've been staring intently at the door since he went out.

July 27, 2020July 27, 2020 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

I was doing dishes Saturday afternoon, looking out the kitchen window, when I saw a flash of a red tail on the other side of the fence and thought a rooster got loose. Then a second later, it came out from behind the brush, and it was a fox! It went all around the two … Continue reading Fox!

Meat chicks, day 9

July 3, 2020 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

I'm horrible with posting their pics daily!  These chicks have grown a TON in just nine days!  They're like little dinosaurs! I cannot believe I didn't take the pics daily.
