Red Hens Under Attack!

It's been a scary day in the garden, for one young chicken especially.


Today around lunchtime a W&L biology class was walking up to the garden when they saw a Red Tailed Hawk swoop in, snatch one of our chickens, fly upwards, then drop said chicken to the ground. The students rushed to the chicken's aid and found that she was basically fine. A bit freaked out, maybe, but fine. They returned her to the flock.

So this afternoon Abby and I rigged netting over the entire chicken pen and did our best to reassure the girls-- who were clearly skittish-- that everything would be fine from now on. Abby tried to give each one  a hug, with limited success.

Here she is knitting the net together with wire.

    Trader, bigot, America hater, What? You don't want to make America Great Again because you lost an election....bigot, Where's tolerance that you people always claim. Oh.. have tolerance for the Gays, and the illegals but don't have tolerance for the 50% of Americans that you don't agree with their politics on...like I said...BIGOT. I cant wait until your business goes under...I hope it does soon. You want to mix politics and your business, go for it but don't trash a good American mom. Oh I forgot your so tolerant. Losers and hypocrites over and over again....lib tarts. Oh Can I get reservations for 20 so that we can all shit where you live, You just shit on Our country so I guess that's OK. What's the earliest we can get for a reservation.
