Yikes!

Rosie is finally laying her eggs in the nest box with the other girls now.. that’s the good news.. she’s so funny to watch when she lays.. she stands up.. opens her mouth like she’s gonna scream.. out pops the egg and then she jumps outa the nest.. and nothing.. she doesn’t ‘announce’ it like all the other girls do.. just goes on about her business.. lol.. she’s so cute.. am hoping she’ll pick one of the other boxes soon, lay some eggs and sit on them to hatch.. buffs make good mama’s, i’ve raised them before and they are good ‘sitters’.. Yeller has been popping her the last few days, so hopefully, her eggs are fertile now and i can save a few for the incubator.

now the bad news.. i have snakes living in my trailer!! eeeeeek.. i hate snakes! these monsters are about 5 feet long and caught one yesterday gettin an egg outa the nest.. he coffed it up when i spotted him and went back under the trailer.. ack.. have caught 2 others on the porch and threw em out in the woods, so i know this is a different one.. as large as they are.. there must be a lot more living under there.. so gross.. now i’m spooked about walking around in here, knowing there are those monsters living under my feet and in the walls! i thot for a long time all the slithering noises i had been hearing were mice.. but now i know its them damm snakes!!!!!!  thinking of injecting some antifreeze or something inside a few eggs and leaving them in the nest for the bastards.. i know that will kill the buggers.. will piss my sister off but when it comes to snakes.. i dont want them in my house!!!! they belong in the woods and if they stayed there there’d be no problem!   oh well, time will tell.

till next time. hugggggglez
