Only wild chicken and grouse left on the farm now.
The title pretty much says it all. There will be a lot of farming related posts here as well as some ancient family history and photos. Another family history blog I have is at.... http://nevardblog.blogspot.com/

Weasel One - Roosters Zero
Looks like I am officially out of the chicken business. These two old bantam roosters were all I had left for the last couple of years and I figured they would die of old age. But the chicken house was eerily quiet this morning when I checked on them. Both lying dead under the roost. Too much of a co-incidence that they would both drop dead the same night. I found weasel tracks in the snow and when I looked back in the house the weasel was there eating one of the carcasses. Amazing how such a tiny little predator can kill a rooster so much bigger. I could set up weasel traps to get him but not much point now as there are no chickens left to protect. Weasels do some good on the farm as they catch mice.
