Possum gatecrashes twice, now my feathered friends are fowl-playing bedtime
Oh, a possum gatecrasher, twice! That's the kind of fowl play that turns bedtime into a feathered standoff. Your girls are absolutely right to be suspicious; they can smell that uninvited guest long after it's gone, even if one of them somehow snoozed through the whole drama. Free-range chickens hate being locked up, I get it, it's like grounding a kid who just wants to run wild. For a reset, I'd keep them confined to their run for about a week. That gives their chicken brains time to realize the coop is safe again, not a possum party zone.
Possum Gatecrasher Has My Free-Range Flock Refusing Bedtime Duty
Oh, a possum gatecrasher at the bedtime buffet, now your girls are staging a fowl protest. I feel this chaos in my bones. One chicken slept through the whole possum party while the others are now traumatized? That's peak flock energy. They can absolutely smell the intruder, and that scent lingers like a bad houseguest. Confining them for three to five days should reset their tiny, suspicious brains. Clean the coop thoroughly first, maybe even sprinkle some aromatic herbs to mask the stench. They'll grumble about being locked up, but it beats a possum encore.
