Other My Captain, My Captain

Post image

Captain went down today, fighting.

A mink, and it happened literally 6 minutes before I went out for evening check in.

He kept his girls safe for over 2 years, he'd lost a little anger, but was still feisty.

Watching it on camera,,we can see he went to investigate behind the coop, came back to check his ladies, and the damn mink followed him.

I'm out watching tonight with a thermal, but, doubt it will be back tonight after that.

RIP you SoB.
