Larry can't keep fish in his big tub on the deck, because racoons find them and eat them. Even though we live in the city, there is a cemetery a block away, which is probably where they come from.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-58944740048113562632013-03-12T16:29:19.055-05:002013-03-12T16:29:19.055-05:00We have a large enough trap but I am out of marshm...We have a large enough trap but I am out of marshmallow.

A fellow in our area has almost 100% success! Coons are viscious killers, that is for sure. And twice as bad if they are cornered. Great picture of the turkeys! And I hope you are feeling back to normal by now. It's always a shame to miss good weather (there seems to be so little of it lately!)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-88869653055125776142013-03-11T05:59:07.628-05:002013-03-11T05:59:07.628-05:00Hmmm.

I wonder if it was acid reflux due to the medication. I know that can happen. Good thing DH is on top of things and that you are feeling no pain now. Are you going to call the doctor?<br /><br />Those raccoons are so destructive. And all those poor chickens! What a loss. Hope you recoup your flock soon. Take care....Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-4318868694941612372013-03-11T01:37:22.415-05:002013-03-11T01:37:22.415-05:00While I really enjoy reading about what's goin...While I really enjoy reading about what's going on at your place, I sure hated hearing about the chickens. Dratted raccoons! Do you have a German Shepherd dog? They would be a good dog to help keep the varmints away and good guard dogs too. <br /><br />Hope you get to feeling better. The snow is melting here and the pond is overflowing. The warmer temps were nice, not sure we needed the extra rain right now since we had so much snow.Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-74809225067111094012013-03-10T09:37:53.187-05:002013-03-10T09:37:53.187-05:00I enjoy your blog...and can relate to your "v...I enjoy your blog...and can relate to your "varmint issue"! Poor hens.<br /><br />I hope your physical ailments clear up...life is too short to feel miserable! Have you ever heard of the NutriBullet? It's a food grinder (much better than a juicer or processort) that breaks down everything, and supposedly releases all the nutrients easily. If you have a chance, check out their website and people that have had similar problems to you...I got one in December 2012 and still love it - and I just wanted it to help me get 8-10 servings of fruits/vegetable in daily, not for any specific health issue.... just a thought...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-10352645405503444852013-03-10T09:18:15.254-05:002013-03-10T09:18:15.254-05:00Hope the pain has left you.
Raccoon are a pain....Hope the pain has left you. <br /><br />Raccoon are a pain. If you want to know for sure, dust the area outside where they got in and you can tell from the tracks.<br /><br />It would take a big, bad dog to kill coons. I have heard of coons killing dogs so do be careful. Sometimes the bark will run them off. I have thought before of having a pen surrounding the chicken run with a dog patrolling. We have a good farm team.<br /><br />Packs of tame neighborhood dogs can be a problem. When I was young, I remember the group of farmers hunting a pack that was killing calves...just ordinary dogs.<br /><br />Fantastic pictures.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-58376980594232168532013-03-10T08:52:16.914-05:002013-03-10T08:52:16.914-05:00Sorry you've been feeling poorly.

We need to get one of those one day. Too bad about the raccoons and losing your birds. We keep two live traps right by the chicken coop so it's "normal" to be there for the intruders, then when we think somebody's prowling around, we just stuff some cat food in there & usually get something.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-27631070331480569102013-03-10T08:46:19.517-05:002013-03-10T08:46:19.517-05:00DH has seen these same two dogs before so I hope t...DH has seen these same two dogs before so I hope that is as big as the pack is.

And that you've not been feeling well. That constant pain wears a feller down in pretty short order. Pain makes me crabby. OK, crabbier.<br /><br />Those dogs are a worry. When Sugar becomes an outside dog will she be able to hold her own? Are those coyotes or wolves in the first pictures? We hear coyotes all the time out here and every now and then we see one slinking through the pasture behind us. So far it's been when the chickens are shut up. I've read that they can bust through chicken wire and dig under anything but I don't know if they could dig under here because of the rocks. We haven't had any trouble so far, hope that keeps up. You hang in there, girl, take care of yourself and I hope you feel better really soon.
