I will get this rodent yet!

The opossum has been a challenge.  I was in Denver most of the day for High Plains Food Coop's distribution and didn't get back home until well after dark.  When I went to close the door on the small chicken house and gather the eggs I found 3 that had been eaten most likely by the opossum.  Needless to say, I was very unhappy.  I went to the big chicken house to see if it was in the nest there, but alas it was not.  It won't go in the trap tonight, undoubtedly since its stomach has already been filled.  I will leave the trap set with two eggs that don't meet quality standards for sale and a bierock which also didn't meet standards.

Becky's Bierocks had an entire batch of bierock she had to toss because the person in charge of making the dough forgot to put the yeast in it.  That was an expensive mistake, but my chickens are not the least bit unhappy about it.  They like hamburger and cabbage wrapped in dough.  They too, however, don't care much for the dough without the yeast.  The filling disappears first.  The goats eat the whole thing without hesitation.
