security breach

 

Raccoons...unfortunately are behind our most recent security breach.  In retrospect we had been lucky up until now, but with the cold weather settling upon us we quite certainly due for a visit from something so cute and oh so vicious.  I will spare you the details.  We lost 6 birds and have 3 that I'm not quite sure what to do with.  Their legs...are well...pretty chewed...but they are eating and drinking so I am hoping for the best (any advice?).

Raising animals on your own ...even chickens...can be pretty humbling.  Taking all the experiences in and learning from them is just part of this life we are living.  As cliche as it might be, experiences like these reminds us of how fragile life really is...yes...it is true...i'm getting sentimental on my chickens.  Anyways...life right now is full of sharp turns, bumpy roads, and road kill (is it bad to smile when i see a dead raccoon on the side of the road?...don't answer...).....Bumpy it may be...the scenery and company make it all worth while.
