One of our chickens had a run in with an attacker this week.
She's ok. She played dead and the horrible beast let her go.
Unfortunately, in addition to her pride, her tail feathers were hurt.

Her friends try to tell her that it isn't noticeable, but that's easy to say when you have all
your tail feathers.

So she goes about her business and tries not to think about it while she waits for them to grow back.

But what about this predator? Has it been properly chastised? And who is this vicious creature that would pull tail feathers from a helpless bird?
