You are a lucky man, I hope those northern rockies are in Colorado. Montana is ok too. Canada...well...

My folks have a bevy of barn cats. They are at the high point of the predator/prey cycle, so this spring, they have 16 kittens! The mothers are all communal rearing which is good because they've lost one mother entirely, and her brood is just adopted into the horde.
Right now, my mom is having a great time watching them all shuffle around and play (run is a strong word at their age).
It won't be long before either the local bobcats or coyotes will catch on and they'll start to disappear and then the low point in the cycle will begin, but in the meantime, my folks are having a blast watching the little guys.
It is a good time to be alive.

That is awesome. What kind of chickens are they? I like the ones who lay green eggs, very tasty.

Was expecting another "Dear, Alpacahouse Letter"
TBH I just skimmed the thread looking for alpaca action.
I'll show myself out.

ETA: For those, that don't know the alpaca back-story...
It's on this site. I tried to link it, and failed. Miserably.

Whew you got lucky!!!! You had Alpaca-porn trauma and I had chicken massacre trauma.
WHen I was a girl I got to get the eggs.. and I loved the job of doing it. I went out to the henhouse.. it wasnt a usual house and truck.. it was like a shed. Big henhouse. I opened the door (no fancy outside access) and it was like a horror movie. Blood literally splashed all over the walls and birds with guts all over the place. I ran screaming inside and my dad said.. what did it look like.. and I said blood squirted everywhere and guts all over. He said weasels pull guts.. so we have to get that weasel. I was in AWE of my dad... he knew it what animal had killed them due to HOW it killed them. If you know what killed them, you know what animal to hunt and more importantly how to hunt it.
