Oh yea jdt, Iv seen my owls sitting in the willow tree in the middle of the day. I have only counted 3 different Owls, or at least that have unique features that allow me know which is which. No as for the Hawks, I can I'd 4 different, but I'm sure there are probably 2x what I don't see flying around. I did build my coop between a dog on a chain and my elevated kennels, so I'll see how that goes as far as keeping the car it's away and if need be, shock my yeller devil cur off chicken and pen him up with them.
Now for the hog topic, iv got 5 feral hogs in my pen, 1 used to live inside the house with me till she got to big for the bed and went outside. SO, keeping them alive is no problem. Only bad thing with Durocher are, iv already got 3 red hogs, and 2 blonde hogs. I'm wanting to breed more blonde 1s, and throwing in a Duroc will just favor the red more with every litter. I was thinking of a blue butt or a hamp, but I will cross out with what ever I can get my hands on. If bacon wasn't so lean, I'd think she was a feral Duroc as red as she is, but she don't fill out like a domestic does, which is what I would prefer over the color of their hair. When I said how that would affect raising a domestic with feral, I was referring to him defending himself during breeding season from the feral boar that has 3" cutters, and if the domestic would start showing feral traits and if so, how long would it take to show. Hell, bacon has become highly irritable this past wk, which I think may be bc she is possibly pregnant. She is playing hell on the other 3 sows and sometimes the boar.
