Rest in Peace KiKi 16/03/2015 - 22/04/2016

I woke up at 06:30AM and mentioned to Hubby that the girls were very quiet and on looking out the window, not out of the coop yet, which is not normal.

Hubby went out, came back, gave me a hug and said that KiKi was gone

I have no idea what happened, not a mark on her, she was running around the garden yesterday afternoon, causing mayhem, eating mealworms, harassing LuLu.

She did try and sleep in the nest box last night and I popped her on the roost but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary,

She slept next to Cilla on the roost and there are a few Cilla feathers in the coop. I heard a cat fight at 3am but obviously not in the coop.

I feel so bad right now after talking about rehoming her and venting about her being noisy, she is gone

I want more than one.  Do they play well with others? How big are they? I will have to do some research then see if I can get some eggs. I love hatching the eggs. I

Anniebee Thanks for the info I will try even harder to stop Bear from eating chook poo.  We usually hose the backyard down after the chooks free range.

sjturner79 Paul says thanks for the measurements. He will use the new ones he made that are 30cm cube for the silkies and build some bigger ones for the big girls.

I wouldn't worry about bear eating poop to much. Thor has eaten every kinda poop we have here. Sheep, duck chicken, turkey and cat.. Grosses me out but he seems to love it.
