Maybe you can put an add on Craigslist asking for someone to come take care of the problem for you. If it cost anything, it would be cheaper than purchasing a firearm if you don't have the resources. I know in Texas, any farmer or rancher would gladly help you out.
Thank you for posting this thread. I have been lurking since day 1 and couldn't wait to see your babies. I can't wait to start hatching. BTW... I am new to BYT. I don't have any birds yet, but plan to start in the spring. Congratulations on your new babies.
