I drove 40 minutes one way to go to my first soccer parent meeting... Could've been a text. Also, they didn't even have the practice schedule ready. It was a peaceful drive though.
Goodnight ✌️

Why compromise and make a decision you wouldn't otherwise make just to satisfy a doctor or midwife? That would only release stress for them. Mom would still be stressing about it if that wasn't what she wanted.

I started gathering several times a day once we began to have an issue and that definitely helps. Now the egg snatching usually just happens on days that I'm away from home or busy with the kids. I think we have a bobcat snatching hens 🫠 we haven't seen it happen, but whatever it is, is sneaky. One day it waited until I called our guard pup away (he is still a puppy so I don't leave him unsupervised with the chickens) to snatch one up and take off into the woods in the middle of the day. We saw some feathers on the trail and the dogs picked up a scent and took off after it, but we never found anything more than just those couple of feathers. Seemed like a feline move. We've seen one down the road from us, so we know they're out here.

Heard the chickens freaking out yesterday afternoon and ran over to see what was going on. Momma was losing her mind and I didn't see anything around her. I was about to pull her away from the babies before she hurt them and then I saw it. Big snake decided to #FAFO
Thankfully, he wasn't able to get into the coop before I caught him and all the babies are accounted for 🙌
I apologize to my little dog that I've been accusing for sneaking into the other coop and stealing my eggs. It was probably the snake.
