Sad Morning

Well, we are thinking we might disregard the poll and name our white chicken "Lucky". We woke up this morning to a big hole under our coop, and a dead Piper. =( Lucky was hiding in the neighbor's tree. Tony found her, fortunately, and brought her in. She was very hungry! We think it may have happened last night (rather than early in the morning). Although we found her in Jacie's mouth, we still aren't sure that it was Jacie who did it. Either she killed her by accident and was just holding her, or something else killed her and Jacie chased it off. I think that if she had killed her on purpose, she would have eaten her.... but who knows. We learned, we'll try again. I fixed the coop today, but need some extra material to "fortify" it. I'm not going to mess around this time. Meanwhile, Lucky is bunking with Zorro and Peanut who are not so sure about a huge white chicken invading their cage. We'll miss Piper, she was a neat chicken, as far as chickens go.
