(Well-meaning) human predators in the chicken run, Oh No!

[gtaus]

It has been raining on and off all day here. So, while sitting in the house, I decided to print out a couple of signs I found on the internet. I blew them up to an 8 1/2 X 11 paper, and then laminated the sheet. I found some scraps of wood left over from the chicken coop build, and made a few quick signs which I hung on the chicken run using zip ties. I hope you enjoy the pics....

Don't forget to put an oldskool gumball or candy machine filled with chicken treats or feed out by the coop-- might as well clean up on the kiddos while you can!

Never thought of that. Kind of like when you visit the petting zoo.

...Roosters can hurt people, and diseases could be out there, but horses and cattle , sweet ones, can hurt or kill people without meaning to at all!...

I only have 10 pullets that are just ten weeks old. No roosters. But I was thinking how bad it could be if some little kids went into the chicken run and were flogged by a rooster protecting his girls.

Exactly! It doesn't sound like you mind what kind of treats the chickens are getting but if you did, you could control their intake (somewhat) this way

Thank you. Posting of signs inspired by this thread and all the great comments I have received.

Yeah, that's not exactly the message I want to send. But I sure got a kick out of that Clint Eastwood picture. I bet that would make a nice sign in someone else's yard....
