Not so far from you Mick - but don't want to tempt fate. As the guy who jumped off at all building was heard to say as he passed each floor "So far, so good"

See Fair Isle is the place to be ! No pests, no vermin.

Ours are Free Free range chooks, we dont lock them in at night as there is nothing here to get at them ! But the lack of predators does mean that the island has a rabbit problem...

Just north of the city, though looking to move to the sticks, want a few acres to raise a few more animals.

Me too, I wanted to click on all of them. Have one man who is sorting the rats and looks as if he has done a good job, another walking round a couple of times a week sorting the foxes,so far so good Laughing myxy has had a really good go at the rabbits altho I wouldn't wish that on them,and got the Magpies are under control. What I need now is someone to sort out the f****ng crows that are taking all the duck eggs Sad
