No, but....

Gonna be in Lansing tomorrow all day sitting for my 9 month old grandbaby. She's a doll. Chickens will be in the run all day. Can't take a chance with the hawk stalking. Have a good night all.

I was just about to respond and tell you to watch your mouth because if the kid's parents are smart you'll find yourself charged with threatening to do bodily harm with a weapon.

Seriously though, you may not be in trouble this time, but I hope you've learned your lesson. Threatening to shoot someone with any firearm is not a joke. Even my children have more respect for guns than that. The kid shouldn't have chased your chickens, but you're the adult. You have to set the example as to how to behave and resorting to threats of serious violence is not a good example at all.

chick -- did you identify what type of hawk it was? Coopers?

"Yes nice po'lice officer. Nova was here with me the entire time. She didnt shot the butt cheeks off little Dalmer. Must have been someone else."

No, didn't identify it yet. They fly by so fast!! It's mostly brown, but the wings seemed .. pointier. Haha, does that help??

 

[Olive Hill]

It might help someone, but certainly not me. I'm lucky I can identify common birds. LOL! Birds are just not my forte.

Now you can ask these fine folks about using straw in your run, lke I said I skip that and let them have the dirt and snow to roll around in. The coop is their haven and gets plenty of straw!
