But they can also be killed by a snake if they are silly enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.<br /><br />Keep up the mowing and make sure there is a fair bit of activity in the areas you don't want snakes to be ....Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959583735058953741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685652996444725369.post-70265575523068999872011-10-18T02:19:50.165+11:002011-10-18T02:19:50.165+11:00Glad to see you posting again.

I wish we still had one because we now have to rely on a clucky to hatch our eggs out and like you, we either don't have any or there are 4 sitting !!<br />Your rooster is a very good looking young fellow. Once, quite a few years ago we went to a chook auction and paid TOO much (I think) for a Golden Australorp only to have a fox break in and bite its head off the very first night he was here. The darned creature didn't even eat any of him, just left him laying there in 2 pieces. We were so pleased to have acquired him for our "girls" and he didn't even have a chance to do the job with any of them. Needless to say, our chook yard is now a fortress !!<br />Hope the snake problem stays away, they have a habit to hang about where they think there is a plentiful food supply.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389835614289815501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685652996444725369.post-46846161065955223682011-10-16T20:42:53.417+11:002011-10-16T20:42:53.417+11:00Sorry to hear about the fox Phoebe.

I know what you mean, chooks are VERY addictive. :)Mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866053280077777746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685652996444725369.post-84226871128440765872011-10-16T20:29:07.984+11:002011-10-16T20:29:07.984+11:00What a lovely flock!

We are upgrading our run due to a fox attack, but once thats done we will expand the flock. I don' think I could live without chooks any more!Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613979981355164437noreply@blogger.com
