[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 238485, member: 3444"] I had NO idea. That such poultry bloodlust could happen HERE... in OUR coop! Went out this morning to do my birthday chicken dance with the four teenage chicks, and after I opened the coop door to let them all out, I saw it. A lifeless body. :knockedout: I'm sure the poor creature had no idea what hit it -- it was a mouse. The hens wouldn't look me in the eye. They KNEW I suspected them. Guilt was in their feathers, their bloodstained beaks. So tragic. Then I picked up the carcass and tossed it down the back hill and went about my business of refilling the water bucket and feeder and herding the hens to their run. On my way back to the coop to unplug the heat lamp (for Minerva's convalescence), I stopped DEAD in my tracks. There was ANOTHER DEAD MOUSE!!!!!! :sick: Those girls were BUSY this morning! I think I'd better post a warning on the coop door... maybe even our front door: BEWARE ATTACK CHICKENS ON DUTY! :surprised1: (Who needs kittehs when ya gots chickehs?) [/QUOTE]
