Let me get in your way! Solution?

[wegotchickens]

I tend to kick out with each foot as I take a step. Not hard, but just enough to make it clear that I ain't stopping. Like firing a warning shot. The chickens understand this and tend to walk with me, not in front of me.

I had to step on the cat's tail a couple of times before she understood that laying in my path was NOT a good way to get my attention. And I STOMP up and down the stairs because the goof balls make a habit of lying there.

I almost never have kids in my way though. Think I asked for help one time too many?

I never thought that it may have been the camouflage pants!

it's because you are the 'meal ticket.' they are conditioned to get food when you are present. flock to the food!

i feel your pain. try on 100 broilers chasing you for about 1/2 acre every day, twice a day.




and wild animals hate me. with a vengeance. in fact, hate is a mild term. so fear the skunk, my friend. fear him.

I have a temporary housing situation for the skunk; its days are numbered! Kept spraying under the skids(pallets) as I was taking hay off the skids(pallets).

I have a regular sized house & 3 normal cats =wall to wall cats.
There is no solution , just take a deep breath count to 10 and get on with it .

My dog will take on a coyote, raccoon, possum. I'll take his advise on skunks!
