Terrible Chicken Owners
So, before I could even post this cute picture of the chickens taking a dirt bath in their new and improved coop, one of the babies vanishes out of thin air. No kidding! I have no idea what happened, this morning some time I'm guessing it squeezed through the fence wire where by it was either swallowed whole by Jacie (as there were no feathers or any sign of a struggle) or scooped up by a hawk. The coop was not disturbed in any way, it was just gone. I feel so bad! I knew we would probably lose a few chickens, I just was hoping we could actually get up and running before they started being picked off. The worst part is that I can no longer tell them apart and so do not know which one we actually lost. Poor little thing. Having already reinforced the coop quite well, I decided I would fence the whole back part of our yard off so Jacie wouldn't be able to be back there at all. We'll see if it helps! I never thought my sweet little girl was a vicious killer at heart. ;) At least we still have Lucky, I believe that we will get more of her breed, she is much smarter than the others, and easy to spot when she is missing! I'm glad that we are not depending on these chickens to feed us, we would be in a lot of trouble!
