OCTOBER chicken sacrifice protection

[room onthebroom]

Anyone else have to lock their coop tight this time of year?

Wow! I cant believe the direction this thread went. To pull it all back full circle, yes I lock my coop every night. My old coops all had locks also. It takes about two seconds longer to open & close the door, but those are two seconds I'm willing to 'sacrifice' to keep the birds safe.

(See what I did there? Sorry, I couldn't help it. )

I have combination locks on my call duck coop. I don't really think anyone would try to steal my birds. . but I could see kids opening the door Just wanting to pet them and see them. I mean. . what kid wouldn't want to hug a call duckie
So, My Locks are just for safety from accidental curiosity of kids.
If a kid wants to go in to see my birds they will have to ask.

This discussion, as it started, has devolved rapidly into an argument that does not appear to have any real sides to it. Just demonstrations of intolerance.

Thank you for your observation.

Somebody has to do it. I have some folks come in about once a month that follow some special rules and conduct prayers as dispatching and processing birds they buy. I think it is cool.

I think it’s cult like weirdos. To each their own I guess. Who am I to judge?

Somebody posted a video (since taken down?) of a traditional Jewish practice in NYC that involves ritual slaughter of chickens. The video posted was PETA propaganda, here is a more balanced take on it, if anyone is interested.

Tl;dr, OP, if you are worried your chickens will be stolen, by all means lock them up.

Peta propaganda? what about defending their beliefs?
