people harassing my chickens

[ChickenMorals]

I care for a flock of chickens at school. I love them dearly, but recently, a group of kids have been feeding them Mountain Dew and Cheetos, letting them wander in the road, and hitting them with sticks. I need to stop this behavior. I have talked to a teacher. Point of this post is, can this behavior cause sickness? They've been having diarrhea for a while. I'm furious at the kids! I'm considering putting a lock on their door, and I already put up a sign to not do this.

WOW! This needs to be managed ASAP! How about the principal? The school board? Humane Society? I guess I'd go to the top and see where it goes from there. I'm not a teacher, though. Any advice from them? If nothing else, move them out of there. Mary

If it's an education problem, those birds still need to be protected while people learn better. Mary

That is awful! Yes - soda, human junk food and stress can cause diarrhea. I really hope you can get your hands around those kids quickly before the hens come to harm.

Lock the chickens in...that shouldn't even be a questing seeing you said they are being hit.

Printed and laminated a sign that reads:


Please leave the chickens alone!

-Don’t poke them with sticks, they don’t like it.

-Don’t feed them weird food. It makes them sick.

-Don’t let them out unless you have permission from a teacher.

-Don’t go in their coop unless you have permission from a teacher.

-Don’t harass them in any way.

and I will put a lock on their cage ASAP

I think you need to put a padlock on the coop/run. A notice isn't going to do anything and kids that want to kill them are not going to change their ways
