Last week we had 15 chickens. Today, we have 4. I'm not sure what kind of raccoons we have around here, but they seem to have super powers! We thought we had the barn pretty secure for this batch, but now the raccoons have figured out some things. They can actually maneuver the latch on the small door to the outside and climb right in. That's after they climb over the 6 ft. gate to get inside the pen! So, we've put cinder blocks in front of that small door, Chelan repaired a small place in the wall that they pushed in, and last night, there was still a chicken caught! I think we're in a losing battle. Will the raccoons keep outsmarting us, or will we find a way to stop them?? To be continued . . .
On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op
