I’m laughing at myself. I’ve had raccoons, fox, stray dogs and cats wandering around, I just figured the chicken wasn’t gonna last long. A hawk was eyeing the group a few days ago. Owls are around, too.
You sound like a neighborhood where I live...and I’m IN TOWN! LOL! It’s a rural area on the outskirts, tho, and I love it! We gat ALL sorts of critters. When I was growing up in the country.......our neighbor’s goats would appear in our back yard. Had to escort them back. ;-) They were bootleggers.
