Hi Terry, nice to see an update. Yeah, chicken keeping has its ups and downs. Just this morning there was a ruckuis in the yard and I went out to investigate. I found one hen way up in a tree, and another one is missing with no sign of her. I suspect coyote, but hawk is also likely. Of course, it has to be one of the few hens that's been consistently laying this winter.
I'm glad your family is doing well. Hopefully this year's chickens will be successful. I've been quite happy with pullets I've found on Craigslist. I'm kind of picky, so I sift through a lot of ads and pick out the good hens from nice people. You can find some interesting breeds on there sometimes.
Hi Finnie! So good to hear from you. Bummer about your bird. There have certainly been some big highs and lows in our chicken keeping adventure. Around here I seem to see better looking birds on Facebook groups. We'll get more in a couple of months and continue on.
