Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Im waiting for the bulldozer to get here. I have a lot to do, having to wait on other people, really makes me feel vulnerable! I’m tearing out the back 40 of the trash left at Jeanette’s yard (now my yard) should I just pick up my shovel? Gezz!

Came home from work today, having had a good day. found pullets (and cockerel) up near the house. Closer than normal, but they've been working their way closer. Got pasta treat. They came back up in a hurry. then saw 1 off in the yard, not moving. Go check it out.....Dead Nika, my Dominique. no obvious signs of cause, but cold. Looking around, see Sheba, my RIR, also a corpse. See little Storm, running around (NOT a corpse), where's mama? Keep looking. Find corpse of the double laced golden wyandotte, followed by Dora (the pic posted earlier). Have seen Silver and a partridge rock....not sure if Mama or not, but not near Storm. Find Mama on other side of Russian olives, also a corpse (definitely mama as her comb is smaller than the 2IC's comb. Then spot Rusty on the track down below. Feathers everywhere thigh plucked. Finally (after talking with nearest neighbors (1 of whom also has chickens)), find Thing 1, the smart Houdan, torn open. Never did find Helen, my silver Phoenix. Based upon all the senseless killing and the size difference between Rusty and Helen, the smallest, I'm thinking a dog. I need a fence. RIP feathered friends.

Of the birds in pictures, I still have little Storm in #4, and the barred bird in the pic around the feeder. I also have the 2 with just tails showing. I took the pic of Rusty on Sunday. View attachment 2810449
No one saw/heard anything so don't know if it was someone's pet or a stray. One of the neighbors did see a stray the other day. The foxes back in May I understand. feeding family. This is senseless.

This is so awful. I am sorry you had to go through this.

I did not witness it today, but my brother said they were big hawks. What I'm wondering though is if in the chaos he's mistaken the hawks for juvenile eagles. I do know there is a pair of bald eagles that nest along the river about 7 miles away. If that is the case I'm in a even worse position then I am with dealing with hawks. And to clarify, didn't mean shoot straight in the air, will shoot toward the hillside if it comes to that for scaring them away.

You are a better person than I. If no one was around to witness, I’d taken them out!

Does my hen know this? Maybe she needs college more than I thought?

He was trying to save a little on fees and hoping his hen wouldn't notice.

Why is the last day of ones weekend always half as long as any other day of the week? I swear Fridays are always missing several hours!
