Ferret find

[Bowlander]

Went to put my chooks to bed just now only to be greeted by a pair of green eyes peering under the door. A big poley hob, thought it was our ferret Digger but went to pick it up and got a bit of a nip! Checked digger was in his cage (he was)and got a welding gauntlet! Gave the chap a broken egg and picked him up and popped him in my ferret box.
Finding his owner will be tricky as no one will own up to losing a ferret- especially where chickens are involved. Checked around the shed and it had nailed a daft broody and a rat!

Will make some enquiries tomorrow but meantime will divide up diggers run and keep hold of him.

All I find are mice in my compost heaps

Pity about the chook, but the rat sounds as though his instincts are spot on.

cheers,

I'd admit to losing one if it meant I got it back. Do you know the local ferreters?

There were some lads shooting the bolters on the next door farm a fortnight ago, so I'm guessing it was them. Will see the farmer this morning.

I'm not too bothered about the chook, she was a persistent broody who laid 3 eggs and sat them. I won't tell them that though!!

Owch, sorry you got a nip an lost a bird. But having said that I am glad you lost a Rat too

What are you going to do if you can't find the owner? I am assuming you are going to be 1 up?

If I can't reunite it with its owner, I'll keep hold of it. just a shame it isn't a jill as mine died earlier this year. 2 hobs ain't a problem though.
