There is the gang of three. But the days of free ranging are gone now. A fox approached in the middle of the day and carried one of the hens to the outer fence of the property where he got stuck.
We were able to take the chicken off the fox. She didn't have a scratch. View attachment 3542328 It is the third time she survived a fox encounter, I wonder how many lives she has. But we don't want to find out and we built a protected run. Much safer. Though I am sure she is dreaming of the days of freedom and telling tales of the battles she won. View attachment 3542325

A late welcome from another EU chicken lover.
I loved reading your story and your photos

Peeps in Europe is great for questions for EU inhabitant’s. Shadrachs ex-bat thread is great read for all chicken keepers who try to do give chickens the good life they deserve.
