re: #191 Shiplord Kirel: Fan of Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie

One of my suburban neighbors tried raising chickens a couple of years ago. They got a dozen chicks and thought it cool to let them graze across their 1/4 acre.

A month or so in, I noticed that were only about 6 and they were spending all their time huddling in their coop. Shortly thereafter, they, and their coop suddenly disappeared. The next time I saw them, I asked about the chickens. They claimed an owl had gotten 6 of the chickens in one evening. And then came back a week later and got the rest.

I guess that not everybody is cut out to be a subsistence farmer. And these neighbors certainly did not have the skills. :/
