There are hard times, but I think there are far more great times! I have never laughed so hard watching other animals, or been able to relax after a stressful day. You are provider, attention giver, and protector to your flock. They pretty much just have you, and when they are doing well (which is nearly all the time for us dedicated BYCers

) it makes us feel good too! I would definitely say keeping chickens is good for your health, and not just nutritionally

Bizarre update: So we get a call from the park saying they saw our chicken and to get down there. Well I was not home but one of my housemates went down there with a net and started looking. He came across 2 young boys and asked if they had seen the chicken, they led him right to the bird. Well, the bird was obviously not the chewed up one I found but an easter egger. We lost an easter egger maybe 2 weeks ago.. a week before we lost the one that I thought was in the park. The bird was too hard to catch and it was getting dark. Friend didn't know it was our chicken so he didn't try too hard to catch it.

I'm a little skeptical but it sounds like our bird.. there's just nobody else around with chickens that I know of. It will sure be amazing if it's the same bird we lost weeks ago. I hope we can catch her today.

Agree 1000 percent!

Oh no...I thought a happy ending was coming when she survived for 6 days...So sorry she didn't make it home.

Good luck catching the EE.

I'm so sorry! When My buffy had gone missing, we thought it was one of our dogs, because there was feathers in the yard, but there was no blood, we don't know if the dog swallowed her whole (I don't know if a golden retriever could do that but..) we think it might have been a turkey vulture....
