Middle of the fucking night, I go to the bathroom and hear my fucking chickens screaming???? Go out to their coop and they’re out in the fully fucking enclosed pen with bloody faces and there are feathers everywhere. They’re okay, thankfully, but Jesus Christ can these fucking predators quit trying to kill my birds?????? I keep them cooped now to keep this from happening and something still tries to eat them like STOP IT. So now they’re in an extra large dog crate in my milk room 😑

#she speaks #there was signs of digging and a hole in the fence but no fur #girls have as good as they got apparently cuz like they’re alive #whatever it was tried to grab their heads so probably a racoon or a skunk #no smell probably means no skunk especially since the birds fought back but raccoons don’t really dig #but we do have a major skunk problem anyway #we’re just gonna have to break down and buy electric fencing #cuz this is fucking ridiculous #they’re in a fully enclosed coop/pen with hardware cloth #my dad was crouched down in their pen stapling the hardware cloth back to the frame #and my sweet little peep kept coming over to see what he was doing and demanding attention lol #she’s so cute and she’s gotten so big #like she’s a real chicken now #and this is the fucking second time she’s gotten attacked #like can y’all stop? she’s been through enough #and my older girl was like why is this happening why are you in here #I love my birds but man it seems like the entire universe is conspiring against us #so now we gotta figure out a solution in the meantime #cuz they can’t stay in my fucking milk parlor omg #but like even if we get electric netting we’ll have to order it and that’ll take time #ugh frustrating #my poor dad I had to wake him up to help me move the birds #and it’s like four in the morning when this happened #and now he has to go to work #UGH and I have to drive my brother to the doctor’s office tomorrow omfg #I haven’t slept #I was reading and then I went to the bathroom and then something tried to kill my birds #great start to the day jfc
