I just wiped my hand on the underside of the roost, looking for blood smears. Nothing. They go to roost before full dark so not sure the avoidance has to do with pests. If the trend repeats itself I will look closer. The pecking/roosting order is rather fluid these days, many pick different...
Ahh, that is something I hadn't thought about.
That roost was occupied again tonight after a couple-few nights.
I did run my hand underneath looking for blood smears.
Rainy here, nice soft rain with cool temps....feels and sounds nice.
Evidence of ground hog digging near/under the pondsai and deck. :mad:
All the chooks seem to be avoiding the short leg of roost, odd.
15 minutes with the string trimmer did me in, arms and hands shaking, back aching. Stinks becoming decrepit, gotta try to find some satisfaction in tiny accomplishments.
Very cool!
I like that show, can see some really cool stuff.
Occasionally glimpsing the activity beyond the filming area it looks like a bit of a mad house.
Never seen a ground hog freeze and stand still when I opened the window, it tottered up the coop path and stopped 10' from the patio. Easy shot. One down.... how many more will there be this summer?
Nice and cool today with a few mild breezes blowing into the windows.
Was thundering and raining a bit when I woke at 6, not sure what the forecast storms did last night, my usually trusty weather site doesn't not hardly work for me any more :(
