From One Chick to Another..

She was just being honest. I didn't realize how boyish I looked until I uploaded the pics..

Hi there Sarah...no..that is not a mink. A mink is a member of the weasle family, but a mink is about 3 times or more bigger than a weasle.


I found a dead duck in my barn..one of my special ducks (I don't have them anymore)..her neck was all chewed up...I knew I had problems when I found that. It had also done the same to one of my setting (on a nest of eggs ) little silkie hens.
I ran back to the house to get that rifle, and waited.
This is what I saw..(it freaked me out! )

But I prayed, held the rifle poised and pointed at it's head & BAM! He dropped immediately..though I repeated the shots a few more times to be sure.
Anyhow..that was a few years back and am glad I haven't had that experience since.
And the GroundHogs are more like the PrairieDogs. ('cept not nearly as cute!)


I shot one in my veggie garden after it had eaten most of my newly growing produce. It was a tough year that year. It was living in the garden!


Thanks Elke!

Issy!
Sarah!
I can just picture it Lois!
