Weds. afternoon, as I stood in my kitchen chatting on the phone, I noticed something strange looking in the "Playpen" area of my coop. After a second, I figured out it was a ferel cat.
The cat managed to kill 2 of my birds. 5 were still in there.15 were out and about watching the chaos erupt.
As expected, the rest of the b irds would not go in to the coop last night. But, I thought they would head in sometime today. Nothing. SO I went and kicked out the 5 that remained, thinking that they would get everyone else back..............NADA!
SO, now we have rain, sleet snow and expected 50 MPH blizzard coming. I have 19 birds in a branch that I cant reach.
I let the dogs out and I guess one of the birds fell from the tree? All I know is a dog had it. The bird is a butterball so it was healthy, just icy.
So, if they make it through the night, what are the chances of getting them back? How can I get them back in? Any help at all?
I know they are just dumb bird, but they are also equipment I need. Training for the invitational this year. They are kinda in a way some really nasty pets too. They have names for gripes sake!
BTW, Mocha and Stripe were the slow ones that Tom ate.
Only got one bird and just age the head. I thought I might knock him around a little and when I went to do that he hissed at me and started making some weird noises. I reconsidered my "thought" and let the big sob out. Can't blame anyone but myself.
