o-kaayyy - Knotted , why is Fudge really annoying ?

 

[Knotted]

She follows you through doors she is not supposed to go through and trashes the place. She claims on tables and chucks things off. And she's smug about it.

Got to love a Jill.

We're going to need video evidence.

About the only time she's stayed still!

 

[Saffy]

She finds the most awkward places to sleep.

what a beautiful mog - particularly like the pissed-off eyes. RIP Dexter, I wish you were still with your hoomins.

Distant relative of Breeze perhaps?

She's starting to get tired of Duncan the Teenage Rodent's shit now.

 

[chriswill]

The cat's annoyed because the dog steals all the limelight now!

She's always been a grump. The lady across the road who feeds her has moved out too.

Not happy....

Gorgeous colour ...it is as though she is running out of toner

Aye, I have a blue kitteh and a lilac one - all the photos look like they ought to be a black kitteh and a red one but badly overexposed photo

A fox got two of the chickens last night Enid's gone and Egg is now buried under a tree (we made an egg-shaped tombstone). Elvis managed to get away, but injured her leg; she's recovering in Juliette's room and, amazingly, still laying eggs! When she's up and about again we'll get two new hens because she can't be left alone. I know how the fox got in and it's not going to happen again. My poor chicken babies. They were really happy

I'm so sorry to hear that

Poor Enid & Egg

 

[Vintage Paw]

Sorry about Enid and Egg

Glad Elvis is still here to fight the good fight (and provide healthy breakfasts). Get better soon, Elvis.

I'm sorry to hear this sam. Unfortunately the fox will be back. They can chew through conventional "chicken wire" and even weld-mesh, jump to a height of six feet, dig down across and up. They will push things, pull things and generally do whatever it takes to get to your chooks.
If possible the coop and run should be on a concrete base no less than 150mm thick and the external wire of the run should project below that.
You're doing a great thing in re-homing these poor birds and I wish you all the best.

 

[scifisam]

I'm hoping that if it was the coop being insecure the fox would have got to them sooner than two weeks; it's surrounded by concrete, with thick chicken wire under the coop as well as over and around in two different layers. My daughter left the nesting box unlocked, so that's how the fox got in

Elvis is doing OK. She's sleeping in my daughter's room with a fluffy hot water bottle, stinking the place out, drinking camomile tea and eating porrage. She's so cute when she eats from my hand

 

[Libertad]

Sounds like you've got things covered then scifisam

 

[trabuquera]

RIP Enid and Egg - and sorry to scifisam and family for your loss, hope the smaller humans aren't too upset. Naughty Mr Renard.

 

[BoatieBird]

Sorry hear about Enid & Egg scifisam, I hope Elvis recovers well - on a diet of porridge and chamomile tea she ought to be fine!

Not mine, but we've got a visitor in the office today, and I'm on the verge of dognapping.
