I heated some of it up in the microwave and set it out to cool for their breakfast. We'll see in the morning. Also set up trap after putting younglings back in their nursery. They were trying to join the big guys on the top and getting pecked for it. So, I take a quick bike ride to 7-11 and just as I ride up the driveway I hear the trap door clang. Open the back gate and hear a terrified yowl. So this feral cat has been sneaking around and eating left over bread after the chickens bed down. I doubt he was a threat but I'm not taking any more losses if I can help it. I've purchased 39 chicks total this spring so I've lost over half to crows. Then a few deaths because of fertilizer left on surface of soil. Chicks mistake the granules for seeds. Then one death due to older chickens pecking and several days ago one got out and I didn't notice till I did a head count. It was an interesting white one with a few brown feathers. So batch two is down to four survivors. The five survivors from the last group of chicks are fast, cautious and very alert. So, six survivors from first group, four from second group and five from third group. The hardest part was hearing a commotion after setting up a sunning porch for the chicks, going inside for a quick nap and then running out to see a crow flying off with his last victim clutched in his claws. The commotion was from a couple of some native birds who hate crows and were trying to drive him away. I lost seven while napping. I now have the plans for building a quality ladder trap.
