They killed Clyde and my BBS blue pullet and one of my Davis hens. I'm sick. Just sick. Those birds were fat! No way they got out of the yard, but I'm rarely in my bedroom which has the only window facing the back yard. I hate that there's no constant veiw of the yard. We've been sick and I'm usually out there a couple of times a day. I've been filling feeders and waterers at night and the birds that are penned I let out in the morning and then close them in at night. I had let them all out. If they have a big pen like the SPPRs I keep them penned. I rarely let those out and do it when I'm going to be out there. That fence is tall. It's over 6ft. They've never ever flown over the short 4ft fence because they just can't. I have 3 Game hens and my OE roo who are able to get over there, but they've been penned up so they can't. Still they can only get in my neighbor's yard, so either way they would have had to climb a fence to get them to the alley.
We have lots of chickens that run around the neighborhood. They're always outside, running in the streets and yards and other than some idiot running them over on purpose (another sign of the intellegence around here) they just live happy and hang out. But my birds don't get out. They can't. Lil Jovi was the only roo to be able too and that's because he is so tall and huge. Doesn't take any effort for him to get up to 4ft. Actually I guess not that I think about it, they could all maybe get over the 4ft, they just don't.
The neighbor that caught them was asleep. He said he heard chickens, but there are a lot in the neighborhood. He said it sounded like maybe a squabble and he tried ot go back to sleep, but them he heard this horrible chicken screams. He said he looked down into the alley and saw the kids beating the birds, so he yelled down and they ignored him. So he ran down and out into the alley and by the time he got down there the birds were dead or dying. He called the cops and they showed up, but he said they didn't do anything. Then when he saw me outside working he came out to let me know. At first I thought maybe I had done something wrong or the birds were bothering him. He tols me what happened and then said if I need him as a witness, he would be. Then he said he has a bird's eye view of the alley and some yards, so if he's up he sees everything. He's a young guy in his 20's. He has a car that sometimes drives me crazy from the booming music when he's working outside or cleaning it, but he's always said hello when I'm out if we see eachother. I don't complain about his car and he likes my birds. He said he sees me out back with the animals and knows how much more like pets my birds are. I guess him and a couple of his friends like to watch the chicken antics in my yard. Wish he had been up and watching them when the kids came over.
Sorry, I'm just on a roll. Little kids being that cruel, just bothers me. I've made them stop shooting pellet guns at everything and everyone, but from now on, I'm not warning. I'm going to report them every time I see them doing something wrong. That person who calls herself a mom, needs to be checked too. She's a wack job. School starts next week and I drop off and pick up Makayla. They act like brats at the school too, so let them be their normal selve there, and that pincipal is going to be hating me like she does Vanessa. LOL
