Farm chatter

When she alerted me, I followed her back and checked the coop. Only Bubbles Pebbles and Jokgu were there. They were clearly very stressed, and once I found them, I discovered the body of Poppy Jr entangled in my electric fencing. That’s how I knew it was a predator. I picked up Joy (not hard to do since she loves humans) and out her in the coop with the others. I locked the doors and closed the latches, and made sure everything was secure. Even though I was still panicking (and crying) myself, I tried to stay calm for the chickens so I wouldn’t forget to close a door, or lock a latch (that coop was littered with doors and latches) and I talked to them while I did that, with a little chickens voice, repeating their “words”. My old coop had a small run on the bottom which I’m grateful for, because it allowed me to keep them locked up in the coop for three days while I built them a new secure chicken run (my omelet run I have now) and still have space to scratch around and live their lives securely.
ohh so they usually can come out, but you locked them in for a bit?

See this is why everyone needs an SS. You all love Joy and her story right... well why don’t you get your own mini Joy’s. She can have a whole army spread throughout the entire US, it would be fantastic.
mini Joys?????

Yeah they had a huuuuuge run (the attached coop run was used as a place my ducks slept and laid eggs) with electric netting around it. The netting was solar powered though, so one rainy day it wasn’t charged enough to shock, and the ground was so muddy that some predator was able to pull the stakes out of the ground without being shocked, slip underneath (also slowed Joy to slip out and alert me) in a gap, and take my ducks and chickens.

Mini Joys would be fantastic. If all my friends got SSs we could have an army of them.
 
Here's my first Dwarf silkie.
