Re: [CHICKENS-101] HEN killed my new young guinea

Cats are inherently evil, even though I have a cat who had easy access to my chicks without hurting them. You will live easier without Mini Jet, so don't lose your resolve. My live trap is referred to as my 'Cat Trap', and it's caught numerous ones, far more of them than possums.

I am so sorry this happened.

I'm so sorry for those who have lost babies.

We lost a baby White Leghorn yesterday afternoon. We had moved them
outside to the temporary cage and we never thought one of the cats could
get to a chick but Mini Jet got on top of the cage and snagged a baby.
We tried to rescue it from the cat but weren't successful. Needless to
say the top of the cage is completely covered and the cover is weighted
down by old carbide wheels (which are pretty darned heavy). When I
catch Mini Jet, he's going to the pound without a second thought. He
won't eat another one of our chicks and live to brag.

We're so sad. :-(
