Keeping Chickens

[Funky_monks]

Poisoning is harsh and yes who knows where the dead go and what eats them?

I have attempted to thwart rodents (and foxes) by adding another layer of mesh to the whole structure. It’s taken ages.

Got to get more mesh to go in the ground. Plus concrete. Costs are adding up.
I have got it all in position now and have cleaned up the mess. The new 850 litre compost bin is good stuff. This is the special chicken shit bin which will feed my vegetables.

I keep getting pestered by others to name the chooks when they come.

I’m going to name them. Me.

I’m thing of Gertrude, Irene and Mavis. We will see.

There are some interesting lethal traps around these days, but they ain't cheap.

Goodnight Mrs Tiggywinkle!

"If there is any chance that there is hedgehog activity in the area you are trying to target; it is the responsibility of the trapper to stop hedgehog interaction with the trap"

It also kills stoats but makes no mention of weasels.

I can't see a hedgehog getting its head up that tunnel, tbh.

You'd use a different bait for stoats - and not sure killing them is legal in the UK anyway.
