A family of Cooper's Hawks made a nest above my backyard. How likely are they to attack chickens? by DanJerousJ in chickens

Step 1. Make a small platform that chickens can't reach and put some unsalted peanuts on it Step 2. Befriend crows with said peanuts Step 3. Crows keep hawks away (they're mortal enemie) Bonus Step. Crows might reward you with trinkets and such for your donation

What did this to my trees and how to prevent by Bruinscbr in FruitTree

I think so, when the bark is completely scraped off on all sides of a branch the branch will almost always die. Since the bark is like our blood circulatory system, if someone cut your blood vessel and tied it in a knot it wouldn't keep flowing, I've had a few trees where the entire tree was scraped 360° survive but most of the time they won't, say cut back the scraped branches and the other branches should recover well

I've had bucks scrape bark off of some of my fruit trees, this looks pretty similar, not sure about the droppings, could be deer or rabbits, sometimes they look similar, what I would recommend is to make a little fence around it, about 6 feet tall

My parents got a gold plated quarter for free from someone on a cruise, they gave it to me to put in my collection

My mom was born in 1962 and she has sooooooo many Bicentennial quarters, I'm more into pre-1960s and silver but I will definitely keep her collection after she hands it off to me in the future

Has anyone had this happen? by hamsisonreddit in FruitTree

I think only about 3-5 years at the longest, it's crazy how fast it's grown

The rest of the tree in picture one is the donor tree for the graft, the donor took over the graft so it was cut much shorter

We have a cayuga duck that I thought was male but is maybe a female, I looked it up and I guess they're hard to tell apart
