calling any one from missouri

[SueT]

Today I didn't let the chickens out to free range, but they didn't care. They barely emerged from their coop. They remember the hawk/falcon and they are afraid. Their run is very large, more than adequate, and there really isn't need to let them out so I'm glad they didn't ask.
Here's the pic of the Merlin falcon from the link JT posted above. It's small, but what I saw was small. That link is excellent, btw, all the raptors of Missouri.

I've noticed since all my hens have stopped laying that they don't have the roost time rumble and usually are in the same spot on the roost. Usually 4 on the east roost and 3 on the west roost and sometimes one on the south roost. Have any of you noticed anything like this in your hens when they all stop laying?

Actually yes, there has been a change like that here too. Roost preferences have been totally rearranged...

I wonder how they know it was stolen
I just noticed this today at our grocery store.

If they let it free range it probably got shot, that's the fate of most dogs that get into other folks stuff. Unless it was in a pen... then it might be stolen.

Wife got her new left lens installed today and while we were away someone broke the 23 day hiatus from egg laying. Found a nice 65 gram egg in the roost area.

Looks like a bit of a cold snap here... low tonight 24°F.

It sure is cute. . I hope if it was stolen someone turns them in.
