Poultry Problems

We have some serious pest problems in this house.

We have cockroaches, sugar ants, snails, spiders, mosquitos, gnats, mice, rats, bats,

and chickens.

Yeah.

Chickens.

Our neighbors have very friendly and curious poultry. They just walk right into the house.

“The door’s open, so they must want company!” they must think in their little chicken brains.

We have to shoo them out every five minutes.

That, or close the doors, block the air flow, and suffocate to death.

I’m not ashamed to say it, just annoyed: we have a chicken problem.

“What we need,” says Mom, “Is a baby gate for the front door,”

I’m convinced either an electric fence or 12-15 extra-small shock collars would do the trick.
