And then there were five

[buffyandhersisters]

Somehow one of my 5 week old beauties got out of the run today and our dog got her and killed her. My daughter is devastated. We can't figure out how Beatrice got out. The run has 7 foot fencing, there's no way she went under. Could she fly over at that age? She was a precocious chicken, but 7 feet?

Thanks for any feedback that can help me keep her sisters safe.

I am sooo sorry for your loss. Some chickens are just hoodini's and seem to find a way out no matter what. Send you and your daughter big hugs.

What type of wire. My chickens can get out of anything but chicken wire and hardware mesh until about 10 weeks
