People are not happy with her. Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 fame is somewhat of a polarizing figure, and on April 24 and April 25, she tweeted a couple of things about “predators” — including her dog — going after her baby chicks that set a lot of people off yet again. Check out our gallery below to learn why Jenelle has upset people this time.
Jenelle, 27, and her husband, David Eason, have a little homestead farm on their property.

Piggy!
It looks like the family got a pig back in March as well. “Got me some piglets y’all. 🐷💞 #HomeStead,” the reality star wrote on March 22.

Hot Water
It’s the babies of the chickens on Jenelle’s farm that got her into hot water on Twitter in late April.

Uh Oh
She added in the next tweet, “Don’t get a pitbull if you plan on having a #Homestead cuzzzz he just wants our chicks really bad 🙄. But he was here first sooo.” That didn’t exactly go over well with her followers.

Your Fault
“It’s all in how you train them. It’s not the dog’s fault, it’s you the owner for letting him do this,” one fan wrote to the Teen Mom 2 star. “You should not own animals if you don’t know how to train them.”

No Issue
Another person tweeted at Jenelle, “We had free roam chickens on our place growing up and had multiple big dogs. Never had an issue? Maybe it’s you?”

Not Happy
Not everyone was thrilled with that response. “I have a homestead, have yet to lose a chicken. If they aren’t protected then shouldn’t be free range,” someone tweeted at Jenelle.

Read a Book
“As chicks, they need to be contained and protected since they can’t do so themselves,” another person replied. “Get a book about chicken raising first.”

Responsibility
One person really came for Jenelle with a long comment that read, “My mom’s free-range chickens have never been attacked by a dog, much less her dog … that’s why [you] put up fencing around your HOUSE. Hawks can’t be helped but there’s ways to keep snakes away. If it’s your dog that attacked, it’s just gonna keep on doing it any chance it gets.”
