I haven't eaten squirrels since I was young, but I thought they were good. Meps used to come around and buy squirrel tails, cockerels hackles and something else I can't remember.... for fishing lures. 50 cents a tail for fox squirrel.
My mother had said Campbell's soup used to buy spent hens.
I have used staples to put up winter plastic. I also have found staples in the gizzard when cleaning cockerels. Hardware disease is problems from the chickens eating metal.
Like a game bird pen

Also a friend had bird netting over his turkey pens. A bobcat went through it like butter. Killed all in one pen. Left the carcasses and came...
I put straw around the potato plants. After Halloween I post on my local FB page for pumpkin and bales. Sometimes people want to drop off others want me to pickup.
I hate when they say no rain or frost at 9pm and by morning they are wrong. Can't predict the future 12 hours in advance, even with all the fancy radar, computers and half a dz different models.
