    Default No wonder I'm running out of chick food!!

    and the chick is having to eat a live shrew! This is a chick from end of July! I think the dog better hide in a few months! (The frog is about 1 1/2" and has lived in there for 2 months! I tried 6 times to take him out, but he's right back next day.)

    Wait, now I know why the frog is hiding in there!

    The chick is a Speckled Sussex and so friendly. Can't wait to see her fully grown!

    We had a lot of tree frogs in our yard one time and then we got a cat that ate them like appetizers. My DH did everything he could to stop that cat, but no luck. That cat ate everything, once tried to bring a live snake into the house as a gift for me.

    We have lots of different sized frogs that come to our front porch every night. My other half works third shift and leaves a little bit after 9pm. It is like doing an obstacle course to get off the front porch without stepping on one! They don't bother me BUT I'm not too crazy about all the frog poop on the porch, railings and the siding surrounding the door!!!
