Answer: To get away from the Possum.
Opossums commonly called the possum are about the size of a fat cat. Usually they are greyish in color and have small black ears and a pointed pink snout. They are a nocturnal creature and you very seldom see them during the daylight hours.
If you keep chickens on your farm, possums are your enemy. Although they don't look very dangerous and generally don't move very fast, they will kill your chickens.
