That was just wishing out loud, there are a couple of cats around here that would probably make short work of the bantie. They are the only reason I haven't gotten a couple of bobwhite pairs and turned them loose just so I could here them call in the evening. We have an occasional whippoorwill in the neighborhood.
Just so you'll know, I have cleaned out a chicken house to spread the by product on the garden when I was a kid. Maybe the worse job of my life.
