Whatever happened to our seedlings?

I was wondering how or why our pechay and chili seedlings got removed from their nursery pots. They've been growing really well without problems and thriving well with rain and sunshine. As it happens, the neighbor's chicken pecked on them and plucked them out! Ugh. What to do? I replanted the seedlings. Here's hoping they'd grow in peace so I can harvest veggies in a month or so.

I guess the chickens were in the mood for chili and pechay.

@almostoveryou Chickens will do what chickens will do. They don't care if they ruin your seedlings.

Never thought that chickens would bother with those plants. Anyway I'll be sure to keep them away the next time I plant seeds.

That is annoying! Sorry to hear of this. Are those neighbors chickens free-roaming?

You should probably put protection and prevent the chickens from eating them. They probably think it's food.

Hahaha that's funny. I suppose the neighbor will just have to enjoy her chicken soon if she ever plans to eat it.
