Rat Shit Party
Hi there! Dawn here. I have a rat in my coop storage that is crapping the largest rat craps I have ever seen. I first saw them there on the floor I truly didn't know what they were. At least not until I bent down and upon further inspection (which by the way) is when the stink of their special morsels hit my nasal passages as well. Then I started looking around. Little nibbles here and there munched into bags of treats there on the shelves. One discovery lead to the next. The scene of the crime continued to unfold....

WINTER EDITION: how to not hate going outside
It doesn’t need to be hard. And, I have always made it HARD. I usto think I would just run out to the coop, feed the ladies, flip the water, toss out some treats and be back in the confines of my cozy house in 5 minutes flat, or less which, I think is faster than most ambulances, isn’t it? But here’s the thing. It Never Worked out as I planned ….never 5 minutes. Why?
