Good Morning~!
That's probably a porcupine eating the bark from your trees. Notice the paired channels cut down through the bark? That's from their two front choppers. They are rodents, just like beavers.
Were did you get the fenceing and post . Couldn't find any link.
Hey guys ❤️👍✌️🙏🏻
That's not a moose that's bear. That's a bear marking. It s territory to reaching up and ripping it off with his claws
I have been enjoying your videos and would like to make a suggestion. I seem to remember you mentioning the pallet pile a few videos ago and not knowing what to do with them. Perhaps you can build some climbing obstacles for the goat with the material. Keep up the hard work.
With all that nice granitic and glacial rock in your stream, you should try cleaning out some of the craks in the bedrock to see if you can find any flakes of gold. Glaciers dumped a lot of gold dust as they receded.
Al a 12ga works very well at running hawk’s off lol. That what we had to do. I hated it but after losing three hens it was time to do something.
During the wintertime, we have a few families of NC bears making rounds to find those trees with honey inside… down at the tree base I'll find the scratches of wood, looking like shredded cheese.
It's going to be interesting to see this wintertime what's going on since, a logger cleared cut ~75 acres in their path.
Nature indeed has its own lifestyle if left alone but, when mankind enters their domain… changes occur; positive or negative we'll have to wait!
I truly like the new fencing… we installed woven wire/t-post that has brought a bit of disappointing times.
On the outside, I'll install 3 to 4 rows of rope wire.
Have a great day.

You might have to keep the chickens inside for a few days to change up the pattern. That hawk is hanging around due to the easy pickings. If you change the pattern he/she will move on. Then you can let them out again. Also the female hawks are much bigger than the male hawks. If you ever see a couple together, you will get a good idea of how to tell. That is also true of most eagles.
Love that at 30:50 "The chickens are doing well, and then KaBoooom, Then the knockout BLOW, "Except the one that just died!. "Excuse me", all those chickens that witnessed the traumatic incident of a chicken dying. Now they are suffering from PTSD. "No siree, they are not doing well". LOL! No pun intended.
"chĭk′ən-hôk″
Any of various hawks that prey on or have the reputation of preying on chickens.
An historic tool of farmers and ranchers is a double-barreled shotgun.
fake owl with audio sounds should work to deter them thar birds
Some folks put up plastic owls to scare hawks. I feed a few kitchen scraps to the chickens each day which draws in crows as well. And the crows often chase the hawks away from the area. I also lift pallets up on old buckets to give the chickens plenty of over head cover to protect from aerial attack. Defense in depth.
Your maple trees will not die unless the bark is peeled off all the way around. Even the little ones that got their tops bit off, will be ok. You are getting so close to being able to move your farm! A plastic owl looking over your chickens should help deter the hawk.
Chicken may have died from snake bite
Was -30c the other morning In sunny cold Alberta 🇨🇦.
Thanks for the video.
I can't believe we got snow here in Cincinnati, Oh before y'all did. Have a great day.

Hi Guys, your doing great. Before you know it you will have your goats up there. Too bad about your chickens. The hawks will always be a problem. We have a family of red-tailed hawks that nest in the woods above us. We have tried owl decoys, even eagle & hawk decoys along with traditional scarecrows but nothing seems to work. All you can do is guard against aerial attacks. Dogs !
-Is there a reason you don't have a roost in your chicken tractor? Just thinking it is gettin a bit cold for them to be out and exposed during the night without a roost to get up off the ground. Toss a 2×4 flat across the width and they will thank you.
I'm surprised you don't have a trail cam hooked up to the chicken tractor so you can see what critters come and visit them.
Keep working at it. We all get to learn on the way. Thanks.
⚘put a camera on it
Fence looks great. Nice adjustment on the gate. Thanks for sharing
This fencing type takes WAY to long. IMO sure hope it works out for y'all.
It's a moose. Matches pictures on google.
