Savoring the Thought

I woke up with a headache this morning, and it didn't get any better when I discovered a coop door open and two more chickens spirited away and eaten.

At first, I thought maybe we had a human predator taking my chickens. How else could the door be open?

But we found a trail of feathers leading to the killing grounds, and I can't picture one of my neighbors hunkered under a tree ripping a chicken apart with his teeth. I suppose there could be a feral child out on the back four (acres), raised by coyotes.

I Googled raccoon info, and yes, they do eat chickens, people say. And I guess they're clever enough to figure out how to slide the bolt on the coop door. Plus, I know we have some raccoons around here.

I'm going to find whoever is killing my chickens. How delicious it will be to get my revenge!
