Chicken attack!

[MrsC]

The sound we all dread! Cut a long story short a bloody stoat attacking the girls! 1 casualty who is now in a cage separate from the others. Seems perky enough eating and drinking, fingers crossed!

[Glutton4...]

Oh, how awful. Fingers crossed here too!

[Nicos]

A stoat!!!...I was expecting you to say a fox!

Well done on rescuing them...hope the injured one is not too badly injured???

[MrsC]

We were expecting a fox in there, couldn't believe it, it was a nasty swine not bothered that we were there. Mr C sorted it out!

[Munch]

Wow! well saved Mr and Mrs C good luck with your injured girly.

[Suechooks]

Well done Mr C!

[MrsC]

The injured girly isn't too bad, a couple of bites to the legs, the swine wouldn't let go and the noise was dreadful! She seems OK but will keep checking her, it's the shock of it that might kill her though. Her comb is very pale.

[Nicos]

Just a thought....when peeps go into shock they get very cold and need slowly warming up...if it's the same with hens then maybe a hottie in with her to cuddle up to if she wants to????

[Flummery]

Well done on sorting out the vicious beggar. Best of luck to the injured girlie.

we now seem to have problems with mink,released by some eco thinking,save the planet numbnut,heard someones chooks were attacked locally ,god save us from bleeding hearts,at least until they grow a brain...

[MrsC]

Well, I have googled stoats and minks etc and to be honest settled on the fact it was a stoat due to the colour etc but what I read on minks sort of describes the little blighter we got shut of, who knows but it was an angry little swine!

[polo]

They are determined little so and so's aren't arentthey. Glad you were around to rescue your chooks. Did it get ib a covered run?

[MrsC]

well mr fox sits and stares at the girls and can't get in, never figured on a stoat though, got weldmesh and reinforced mesh, mesh and more mesh etc etc, it was a shock to say the least!

[polo]

Thats worrying that it could get through all that wire and mesh. Hopefully it will think your hens are too much bother after mr c got involved and wont come back.

[Scarlet]

Did you kill it?
