One constant battle when you have chickens is the wildlife things it free snack time. The chicken lady has countless stories of coyote, fox, cougar , racoons opossums and even a wp;f. Now include a snapping Turtle. This isn't the actual picture of the one she found, but we wanted to show you that they are not nice and will eat anything it can get a hold of. Ask the Chicken Lady for her turtle stew recipe.
Here is a story right from the Chicken Lady herself. I went out to collect eggs from the chicken coop and noticed that one of the roosters was way back behind the coop by the fence. The rooster seemed really agitated s he was alone and walking back and forth in a semi circle. It looked strange so I went back there to see what was going on. To my surprise, he was not alone!
He had a snapping turtle about the size of a dinner plate against the fence. more than likely he was keeping the ladies away. I picked it up by the tail and threw it over the fence into the swamp. It must have been hibernating in my pond and now that the weather is getting warmer it came out and crawled up the hill. But it could not get through the fence to get out of the yard.
Who says that roosters don't watch out for their ladies!
