Chicken enrolled at Guilford Central School? Happy ending

Posted on Friday, May 20, 2016 by No comments yet

“A chicken has been hanging out at the Guilford Central School for the past week, and when we went there this afternoon we fed her and gave her water… It would seem that she hasn’t been back at home at all, because she was very hungry and thirsty… I believe she’s an ameraucana. I’m thinking of boxing her up tonight and bringing her to one of my empty coops…if anyone recognizes her or knows her owner please let me know. Thanks.”

Bear opens garage door and helps himself in Fayston

Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 by 1 comment

“We live near German Flats and had a bear get into our closed garage door, lifting it right open! Muddy paw prints on the door… Our plan now: replace our garage door as soon as we can with one that we can lock, eliminate food from our garbage by putting all food scraps in the freezer until the morning of garbage pick-up, and put ammonia in our trash bin as suggested by someone on Front Porch Forum — thank you! I appreciate all the suggestions and warnings of bears in the area. Whatever the cause, I think it’s important to keep each other informed so that we can find ways together to stop feeding the bears. Feeding any kind of wild animal isn’t good for them either.”
