Strange Birds

Well, the farm had a pretty rough night;
it seems chickens are not very bright.
Bandit raccoons broke in,
killed some chicks and a hen,
and the other chicks all died of fright.

It's awful when that happens Jeff, poor creatures are sensitive to predators.

My daughter's chickens - they lost almost 30 birds, although only 3 were actually attacked - really weird to me!
