You act like this chicken coop isn't going to be covered in spiritual wards against evil spirits.

Because, I can assure you, Hagakure "Ghosts make me crap my pants in terror" Yasuhiro is going to ofuda on every doorway into this chicken coop and make sure it's built out of only the most auspicious materials available, so that these precious baby chickens are safe from all harms.

Confronting an angry cat ghost that's trying to eat the chickens is, however, amazing and should happen.
