    There's really a chicken memorial? :binoculars:

    He lived a good life- had 15 wives, all at once and not a single divorce.

    Too bad. Life happens

    Silver lining - less feed to be consumed

    What do you all think this thing is? It was in the chicken run, probably when it was open for a bit. Fluffy tail and big eyes

    Yes, a flying squirrel! I've never seen one before, but it jumped really far after I coaxed him out! He was after the feed right as the chickens went in to roost.

    It is the reason the audible alarm has gone off during the night since they are nocturnal. It got into the run a couple nights ago, but I thought it was a weasel. Kinda glad it was only a squirrel. Back to bringing the feeders back inside.

    I don't believe it meant any harm to the Chickens, like you said he just wanted something to eat.
