Sigh, One of the young hens I entered just last week ate a wasp. It must have gone down the wrong way. She gave out a horrable squack. In minutes her neck swelled up and she suffacated,
21709 - 1 = 21,708
Oh, my chickens eat wasps everyday, it was the first chicken lost by wasp.
I have only one of the hens from my last post.... So -4 from the old flock.
I bought chickens on craigs list. 3 hens and a rooster. +4
I now have a hen that goes broody. She has had 6 chicks after sittin on eggs 3 different times. +6
So...
1 + 4 - 4 + 6 = 7
7 + 21, 612 = 21,619
The old top hen just wouldn't stop looking for the rest of the flock. Every morning she would run like mad out into the woods to search for the lost ones. Today she didn't come back. I'm afraid the coons got her. Ether that or she will come back in 3 weeks with chicks.
Down to 3 chickens...
I forgot to chose up the chickens last night and lost half of them. It was my own fault but I feel so bad for them. And worse for the 4 that got away.
