A Rat In the Hen House

When I went to gather the eggs this evening I discovered all of the turkey eggs were missing. I was totally ticked. At first I thought maybe the eggs had gotten broken and they had just cleaned them up, but under further investigation I found a large tunnel running under both coops. I had made a nest on the floor of the covered run in hopes that Mrs. T would hatch some eggs out this year. Last year she did get broody but broke all the eggs over the course of her nesting time. I had planned to give her one more chance. When she starts laying again I guess I will gather the eggs until Templeton is disposed of or I have enough to put in the incubator. Good grief! Always something.
