(A fact I didn't know until now. I thought they were extremely fatal.) <BR/><BR/>The chicken tractor looks great. Glad the chickens FINALLY found their way to the roosts at night. Stubborn little things, aren't they. Guess you've just raised a bunch of night owls. ;-)Susan M.

C...Oh wow, Vickie, I'm glad you didn't get bitten! Copperheads are scary to look at even. As kids we were sure their bite was fatal, so when my cousin Debbie Sue stepped on one and got bitten on her way to the milk barn, we were planning her funeral. (just like the time she got bitten by a stray kitten and we were sure she was going to get rabies, but of course didn't tell any adults because we would 'get in trouble'. That was a long 10 days(not sure why ten days was the magic number) we waited, looking for signs of 'hydrophoby'. Poor Debbie Sue... Anyway, we don't want you to get bitten...keep those fingers safe and in good typing condition! ;-) Take care,<BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-10425579443580280602008-08-06T22:13:00.000-04:002008-08-06T22:13:00.000-04:00Copperhead bites are rarely fatal -- but they are ...Copperhead bites are rarely fatal -- but they are very, very painful -- or so a friend of mine who was bitten tells me.

Scarier, really than the 18-wheeler who doesn't see my little red car and wants my space on the highway1 So glad for all of us that Mr. Copper refrained!<BR/>Chickens............well, in the middle of the city, the neighbor of a friend a block away has 4......my friend thinks the IDEA of chickens, fresh-laid eggs and such is great, she is nearly driven nuts by the close proximity of "bruuuuuck, bruuuck" when the chickens are in that sustained state.<BR/>Oh yes, and the photos of the delectable tomatoes were the perfect accompaniment (sp?) to the recipe.
