I had a weird thing happen today. I was downstairs getting chicks together for when Steffpeck was going to come and pick them up and my 2 yo came downstairs and said, "guy here". I asked him if a guy was here and he said, "yep". So I went upstairs and there is this guy with his foot and head in my house at my front door.
He wanted to buy some of my chickens wandering around the yard. I told him I was willing to sell my EE's but that's all I have available. He really wanted some of my others. I told him no. Anyway, we had a half hour chicken rodeo and caught 1 bird which he bought from me. I've done this before and sold unwanted birds this way, but this was kind of weird. Almost like he was casing what I have both inside and out of my house. So I will be getting a padlock and a new latch for the coop and lighting up the outside like the noon day sun and locking down my house at night. I'm not trying to be paranoid, but if someone were to take my birds that I've worked hard to get, it would devastate me. If someone invaded my home it would too. I'm especially on guard right now because my dog is at the stud until Monday. I don't have my early warning system patrolling.
