I was showing my mother what needed to be done for the animals while we are in Seattle and I went into the chicken yard and found THIS. Over night a coyote had gotten into the yard and killed most every chicken we have.
Even now looking at these pictures I am sickened by it. I am soo angry and frustrated that this has happened yet again. Last year was turkeys getting killed in a one off attack, now the chickens this year in a one off attack.

This is the hole under the fence where the piece of shit got in. It dug for a while to get this hole large enough. I could see it's prints in the soil and the feathers outside the fence show it took at least one out. I have steel jawed traps that are now set in the hole with a dead chicken as potential bait. I hope to catch the thing but I don't think there is much of a chance o it returning. it already killed most of the birds.

Over 20 of my chickens! Fucking seriously!?!?!

These are my 4 remaining hens. Scared, lonely, and hopefully still young enough to produce eggs for a while since it will be next year before we get any more egg layers...

The number of birds just got cut in half. We now have 4 hens, 13 turkey chicks, 8 ducklings, and 2 geese.

I honestly don't know why this shit has to keep happening to me. It makes it VERY VERY VERY hard to continue on farming. There are many times where I find myself saying "FUCK IT! I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT!!!" And then I am outside continuing on with the chores trying to put it out of my head.
