My husband and I were asleep, around 4:30-5:00am we heard our chickens making noises we have never heard before.. I pulled my curtains back, and saw a coyote running away from our house!! Then we ran out to the coop, and could only count 5 of our 10 chickens.. Then we saw another coyote with Rosie (our rir month old) in its mouth. we searched the acre in our pajamas and found the rest of our missing flock. My brahma Easter egger was still alive! She looks very plucked in her rump area, and hasn't been active, but she can walk. I'm afraid we may lose her too, along with our 5 month ostarlorps, our partridge Cochin roo, and Rosie. It was a very sad morning.. We are building fences tomorrow... And I loaded my 38 for the first time.. My heart hurts from our loss..
