The day before we got rid of our rooster Axl was a frightful cackling in the garden. Axl was in his cage and let Emil stood up in the garden and the chickens were scattered here and there and made just as much noise they. Right between the chicken coop where Axl stood and raspberry country where the chickens are to were clear traces of who had been out ... HAWK. A whole bunch of feathers but not the slightest trace of any game bird.
Oh yes. Has the miserable raptor brought with them their prey, it may not have been anything other than a chicken as it took, I thought and very true. When it was time for the chickens to get on their perches was made one of the smallest chickens. Blessing in disguise ... it was lacking was a rooster.
It was like I said not easy to let Axl go to slaughter even though we knew it was the right thing but with the hawk in faggorna felt it even more difficult. What if Hawk then takes Emil. Then we are left with the beard in the mailbox. Without a rooster and a beheaded a few days earlier ...
Axl neck was anyway, and certainly there has been much calmer in the henhouse since. The chickens venture now into the hen house at night and going more and more with the adult hens. Right now they have no choice - they are trapped in the henhouse.
For ... Sunday it was time again. Just as I was heading sunbelt rentals down to the chicken house I hear a cackling madly. I rush down to the raspberry thicket, met with Emil and a cockerel. Emil rushes all that he can be up to Schersminen further up in the garden and began to crow like a man possessed. Then I saw the big gray raptor take off and fly away through spruce sunbelt rentals hedge. Faaans jääävla shit I hear myself scream loudly. Again, a pile of feathers. This time, I fear that it is a pullet who has been beaten. But when the storm has passed and the hens venture out again, I can rejoice that the hawk did undone matter and that someone in the huddle came away with sheer terror. Two nights in a row I've spent putting chicken wire to the roof of the henhouse. sunbelt rentals Bärnätet we've had in the past gave way to snow and is really no obstacle to a goshawk. Now I can call höndgården Fort Knox. Fast ferret, mink and other nuisance find enough its way into if things go really bad.
What a drama! And what a nice blog, you think I follow. Glad garden located in Sörmlandsleden sunbelt rentals too, and (I suppose) in type zone 3-4? Reply Delete sunbelt rentals
Here we are worried that a fox houses. sunbelt rentals First, we lacked a speckled hen, then a brown (which we later found dead and untouched back from the chicken coop = dead of natural causes?) And now yet another one brown hen. On the other hand, we get so little eggs so at best, is the speckled hen and brood somewhere and the brown hen who had many years of history have died somewhere. For we have not the heart to turn them in when they are accustomed to go free, but soon enough we had. Reply Delete
Phhhuuuuuuuu sicken history! I know you understand when I write - a so lucky that it was a male chicken sunbelt rentals and not a chicken ... Nice to harmony begin to prevail in the henhouse for it is a misery with that rooster fight making. Well, I wish that our chickens were allowed to go freely but this hovering birds of prey - sea eagles, buzzards, goshawks sunbelt rentals and an awfully lot of kites over us all the time. Martens, polecats, badgers, foxes and other vermin makes us excited for the existing giant chicken sunbelt rentals coop with mesh over the roof and walls. There is gravel all over the yard basically to be taken to digging invaders. I'm not on FB so I can fit your nice invitation. Hug ye Skåne ReplyDelete

My name is Anna, and moved in summer sunbelt rentals 2009 to the Little Shasta, my husband's sunbelt rentals parents' home, right in the Sörmländska countryside. In my blog I describe in bits and pieces what happens here at Lill-Hasta. I write about life in the country, various projects in the garden and things that inspire and move me. One or two posts (many has shown) will also be about our fine Bohuslän Dals Black Hens. In the spring I start a long overdue trip then I'll retrain myself to GARDENER. Maybe you peeking through here and then come to see how it goes for me. Welcome!
