In the Brooder
No more free ranging for our girls! I've been letting them out daily while we're at work and it's been all good. But this morning, we witnessed (and intervened in) a really close call with a bald eagle!!! I was looking through the back door as a baldy swooped down at the girls! One ran for the bushes and two ran for the pen but the eagle followed them into the pen!!! I ran out yelling and clapping but now the eagle can't figure out how to get out - it's flying right into the mesh walls while the chickens are running in circles in a panic. I finally got the eagle out and the girls are okay, but terribly spooked to say the least. I wish I could have taken a picture while still trying to save my hens! But alas. I was within a few feet of the biggest bird I've ever seen!
