Speaking of chickens::::: When i raised them when we lived in the woods and our land bordered the National Wild Life Refuge i done nothing but run off birds and animals. The 0furious i hated the worst were skunk and eagles!!! Oh the hate i had for them. But still i knew every thing has to eat and i moved in to their territory!!! But some one told me to put CD's high up in the trees and any little wind it seemed the breeze would cause them to move and it scared the birds away.*So one day when my family was home i gave my grand children ca 2 and a half dozen of them and told them to get them in to the big trees. We never had any wind just a breeze so that took care of that. Then my brother brought us a black lab pup, not to young but not very old either but he got rid of the skunks. Then the dog started killing chickens!! I was ready to pull my hair out and i tried every trick i knew and it was many but i could not break him. You see he did not eat them he played with them but chickens have weak hearts. Finally one day i told my son to get me some bailing wire from the tool shed wound some wire around him then told my son to b*ring me the dead chicken. I wrapped so much wire around that chicken and dog my 10 yr old son said ma, is pal going to be able to walk so i quit. Left him in that wire for nearlly two weeks and when i was cutting the wire off him you could barely breath. But that dog ran when a chicken got to close to him. Ca two weeks later chickens would walk on him. All the while i was thinking good job Viola till the day my neighbor man laughed at me. But then i was furious d never seen him do one thing at his home. His wife and kids done every thing while he drank. They even had to open his bottles!! I literally tore in to him, i told him things about him self he did not know about till i told him. Any way when i got done i went in to my home and waited for the sheiriff to come for me. But the net day his wife told me he came home and went right to bed and that he sever said boo, well good for me on that but it is not a good idea. Viola.
