The Chicken Tragedy and My Search For Answers #176

This week started really shitty. Not the kind of Monday anyone wants to begin their week with. In less than 30 minutes, we lost 10 chickens.Not just any ol’ chicken. Eight of my daughters’ prize bantams and two beloved older hens. It was a massacre. Today I tell the story. That horrific moment when we all realised something horrible had gone wrong in the chicken pen. But stay with me. After taking a day to grieve, process, and recalibrate, I was able to conduct some research into long-overdue questions. Questions about coyotes and how they seem to keep proliferating despite many efforts to control their populations. As I dug into the research, I was surprised to learn so much more. The more we can learn about things we do not understand, the better off the whole world will be. Instead of controlling, we can learn preventive practices that will help us coexist with nature in harmony and respect. Join me as I share my findings, and even more importantly, the lessons I learned from this whole painful endeavour. And if you can take one moment to share this episode with a friend, I would be utterly grateful!
