Last night, at 7:00 pm, one of our chickens, Skunk, a silver-laced wyndot, was killed by a chicken hawk. Chickens have been killed our farm before, we're kinda used to it. Truth is, it's a fact of life. But here's what really gets me.
This was in every way a premeditated murder.
Fenix has been laying low for a very long time. This should have made us even more on our guard, but alas, it did not. We got soft. And this made it an opportune time for him to strike.
Red-wing was standing right outside and saw the whole thing. It was obvious the attack was geared toward her. Everyone knows how much she loves her chickens. If she had to save me or her birds, it would be her birds. And the situation under which Skunk was killed was too suspicious to be any less than an emotional attack on Red-wing. It was out in broad daylight, near the house, with Red-wing standing right there watching, when down swoops the hawk and by the time RW gets to the scene and shoos the hawk away, it's too late, and Skunk is dead.
She's completely distraught. Nothing can make that girl cry, but she was bawling all night. I buried her hen, and I admit, it wasn't a pretty sight. It's breast was torn open, Nothing was left on it's head but the skull and some tendons. Feathers were everywhere.
And this is exactly what Fenix does. He'll strike us each where it's worst. For Red-wing, it was hurting her animals. I don't know how long it's going to take for her to get back on her feet, but I'll admit, this got a fire under my butt. No one, and I mean NO ONE, messes with my little sister. Fenix is going to pay. I swear it.
Come get me, Fenix. Do your worst.
