Hectic Heaven

Predators and chickens

The Chicken killing we had experienced stopped awhile back and I thought the killer had moved on... but yesterday it was back, it got the little pullet that was always getting out...and that met me at the feed bucket to let her back in:<   But she was NOT out when it got her... and now I know what it is .......a CAT!  A regular everday housecat kind... I never thought a cat would kill chickens...  There was brush back around the back side of the run and I had let it grow up to give the chickens some shade... but its gone now... I found where the cat was getting in, well I know it got out there anyway.. so its all closed up.. It must have been hungry because the only thing we found was feathers and the breast bone... We also found broken egg shells, I think  she must have been laying under that tree back there.

DH shot at it and it ran out the back and around to the neighbors..  we will be watching for it...

DH went deer hunting early this morning, so I will have most of the day to myself...

 I really need to work at getting the walls pushed back up.. It seems during the week when I get home the mess so overwhelms me I dont get anything done...and then on the weekend I just want to rest...  We have been sick so the mess is even a bit more daunting then usual. 

I am also dealing with anxiety attacks again..which drains me of most energy I might have left... I guess I  need to make an appointment with the doc and see if there is anything we can do... I can't seem to tolerate most anti depressant that they like to use for  anxiety.

well off to work...

Todays list:

Kitchen , and laundry.

I need to make some kind of soup as well, for lunches during the week
