10 yesterday and today. Exact same ones: 2 blue, 6 brown, 1 green, 1 chocolate.
When DH did a head count last night, we seemed to be short one hen. Only 18 hens, 1 rooster, 2 chicks. Tonight when he went to mow in the big run, he found a body. He said there wasn't much left of her, she's been dead long enough that she was just a flat pile of feathers, but ... the feathers were not disturbed, as if no predator (or the dogs) had disturbed her. I'm glad. I think it must have been one of my elderly hens that probably just laid down and died. It's comforting to think she had a peaceful end. I'm sorry, I hope nobody finds this disturbing. I didn't know where else to post it.
