    Ole 'gray Mare, you are right I know it was my fault I waited to long to close the coop. I have had these girls for over 6 year and I never lost one this way. I think I was distracted because I just rescued a tiny dog. I am starting to get forgetful and I am afraid this is going to happen...

    Do cats kill chickens?

    My dog is indeed a hero but now he knows it, he stands on the deck looking out over the girls and chases anything that comes near. He is the king of the hill... LOL It is really funny to watch him. I am happy the "gun" would not kill the cat I just really want to scare it.
