I took a step toward her, and she rushed to

the other barn, stopping to look back at me. I

took a few more steps and she went a little

barn. As I stepped into it’s dim interior, as my

eyes were adjusting, I realized it was very quiet,

no peeping chicks, nothing. I was about to go

back to my work, when Fluff, rushed at

something by her nest. That was when I saw it.

A giant wild tomcat was sneaking toward the

chicks. It had seen me and had held still, but

Fluff knew he was there, and seemed to want

me to know.

She attacked him, pecking and beating

with her wings, but he was huge, and every

swipe of his claw sent feathers flying. I was

furious. I grabbed a nearby shovel and raced

toward the cat. He saw me and ran for the door.
