Well, 41 laying hens so far this month, last post was on 4/8/16. Set up trail camera and got a great picture of large male red fox sniffing Connibear trap at small door to hen house (will try to post). But we all know foxes only kill for food not for fun, right?

Friday night at 7 I decided roof was to uncomfortable and I would sit in skidloader facing chicken pen.
