There will allways be those that don't understand that the circle of life includes us. We are not merely bystanders that have to put up with it's whims.

I miss my Tig ~ he was trained to take on foxes as well as hunting for food & the 1 time we caught Mr. Foxy at chicken snaffling he was chased away by a furious Tig who forced Foxy to drop the Cochin cockerel before fleeing. Foxes, well away from me & my land, are beautiful beasts, but anywhere near me & I'd want to tie them up, beat them serverely with a dead chicken then get someone to shoot them!<BR/><BR/>I wish I could give you some of my chicklets ~ they're a terrible mixture of things, but would tide you over until you could get more proper ones. I have a curious, but beautiful banty chicklet ~ she's yellowy-white, peppered with chocolate brown, has un-feathered legs, but with the 5 toes of the Silkies.................Killihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175513884016706612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-20036406715765263042007-06-20T13:39:00.000-05:002007-06-20T13:39:00.000-05:00It's horrible working when it's really hot.

Why does it matter to your neighbours what you do on your land? Do what you think is right, they can jump in the lake.<BR/><BR/>I hope you start feeling a bit more positive soon. Maybe the dinner will turn you around. I'm sending hugs from many miles away. : )Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-4409105857773490872007-06-20T08:29:00.000-05:002007-06-20T08:29:00.000-05:00Tim, ugh!

The people against killing it are the ones that only have horses, no threat to them. It has to have cubs somewhere, and if it is going for the chickens instead of all the frakin' rabbits, something is wrong with it, and its cubs will be doing the same. The cycle will not end. The people against it don't get this, and can not give me an alternitive. If I call the ocunty to catch it, they will kill it as well.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-2942552418487164062007-06-20T08:24:00.000-05:002007-06-20T08:24:00.000-05:00I'm so frustrated about our predator issues.

Though I doubt any "neighbors" (the closest are 3/4 mile away) would mind around here.Stephanie Appletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411714132368771649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-33859058985375776482007-06-20T08:09:00.000-05:002007-06-20T08:09:00.000-05:00We are down to 4 chicks from 8, You know what I am...We are down to 4 chicks from 8, You know what I am going to say.
