    Missing Silkie chick prompted enclosing our run.

    So Thanksgiving day we had a 14 week Silkie chick disappear except for a handful of feathers. I'm pretty sure a hawk or other bird grabbed it and took off. We had our run as just a 3 foot high fence and despite having our girls out in this type of run all summer, now that the garden is done...
