OH NO!!! There was carnage in the "coop" last nite! We are sad to say something went in under the hot wire ( the new run has fencing laid on the ground all the way around the run to prevent anything from digging under ~ unless they tunnel at least 4' ~ plus the hot wire.) Whatever the critter was he ate 3/4 of Mrs. Quack, killed Mr. Quack, and 2 of the big chickens - our beautiful buff colored Floosie and Crook Beak. Big ole Mr. Roo-stir got beat up a little bit but the other two big ladies Fusty & Flossie seem to be OK. Fusty does have a bunch of egg yolk all over her bosom but nothing bloodied. A couple of eggs got busted up too. Meg & I move the 3 of them into the new run so not to have to worry about tonight.
We will work on the actual coop this afternoon so we can pen them up safely an no longer worry about anything getting them.
RIP - our feathered friends
