Senseless Killings Anger Residents

March 9, 2009

chickens-dead

Late Saturday, residents were left feeling helpless and angry after mass killings left six chickens dead. The carnage was discovered when owner Jennie Menke returned home from soccer practice with her daughter, Morgan. The first evidence was the lifeless carcass of a favorite Araukana hen known as Pepper.

“Actually,” Jennie Menke later explained, “All the black and white hens are named Pepper. It’s easier that way.”

Investigation continues into this seemingly random act of violence. Witnesses aren’t talking. However, authorities have been called to this residence in the past. Evidence suggests it was the work of experienced killers who have cooperated in past chicken violence at the home. Lola was not available for comment. Buzz, escorted into custody by Charlie Menke, simply stated “It wasn’t me.”

We’ll keep you posted on the events of this story as they unfold. Suspects in the Investigation

    Those guilty dogs deserve the back end of a Ford Fiesta for 6 months! It’ll be equivalent to prison time. Can you win a Drobo that does crosswords for Mom?

    I can’t believe one of those sweet dogs did it. I’d’ve put money on it being a cat… an eeble cat. Our cats are constantly trying to get our dog into trouble, but we know who the perpetrators are!

    I can relate!! One or both of our two outside dogs killed 17 of my chickens!!! Didn’t “gross” them up, just dead-ified them!! I had just moved them into the main henhouse/yard from the barn and they were only a couple of weeks away from starting to lay eggs!! We were only gone for a couple of hours, but someone left the henhouse door ajar. And it wasn’t ME!! So, now I’ve had to “modify” their free-range area with some fencing. Grrrr!!

    Oh no! oh no oh no ohnoohno…
    I feel so sorry for you. And them… and your stupid dogs, because they are, after all, DOGS! I must admit, that since my acceptance of reality. That is to say, my acceptance that Lola is untrainable. I don’t enjoy my chickens nearly as much as I used to because they have to be locked up 24/7. I almost forget I even HAVE chickens. SEVENTEEN though? That’s a lot of chasing. Can you IMAGINE the scene it was? If you weren’t so mad/sad, you could almost laugh.

About Me

Jen menke

I’m a mostly-retired, pretend graphics and web developer (but don’t judge my skillz by THIS site!). We sold our dream home in Watertown, MN and downsized to a “Villa” in Excelsior, MN and built a home in our dream location of Eagle, CO and now split our time between the two states. It is truly a dichotomous life of absentee gardening and getting together with friends & family while in MN and playing hard and hermitting while in CO. I’ve let the blog go but a trip to Alaska has me resurrecting the Road Warriors series. My beloved brother is my biggest fan and I am doing this just for him.
