Eggs and Mangoose
We have mangoose problem raiding eggs from chicken.
It must be real easy for them to just hear the chicken's loud opera of egg laying song and just steal the fresh eggs.
I caught 3 mangooses (or mangeese? doesn't this sound silly) with a rabbit trap so far.
They are pests.
I can't think of anything good they do.
Perhaps controlling our egg consumption so that we don't get too much choresterol.
After I caught those mangooses and Kimberly drowned them (lately she is lazy and doesn't do her job) then I take the dead mangoose to fertilize plants.
It works beautifully. Nothing gets wasted.
Hair, blood, flesh, all high in nitrogen combined with bone meal.
I buried next to my eggplant tree. Hope it's not too close.
After catching 3 mangooses, there is apparent effect on # of eggs we get.
5 today, 4 yesterday, 4 the day before, etc
compared to 1 or 2 or nothing / day until then.
Hmmmm,... will more of them come back?
at least I still see 2 mangooses still in the hood.
