Interesting, they say our pets start to look like us.

& the "experts" are just noticing this now? DH & I've been noticing it for years... what we do/eat/mess up for ourselves reflects on the animals & the environment. I suppose every new generation has to be reminded of these facts

They say Winston Churchill's Bulldog looked just like him too. What! No chicken?

Yes, the Annas are year round residents here. The front feeder is under the eaves, but weather rarely stops them, tough little birds!

Yes, they (Anna's) are!

I believe that's an AI photo.

Coopers hawk attacked. Had one of our chocolate orpington girls. Thankfully we chased it off before it could kill her. She was in shock for a couple minutes then walked off. No noticeable injuries, we ruffled her feathers around and didn't see anything. Boy do I miss BlackJack...Owl just paced back and forth instead of saving her. And the Guineas didn't do anything because she's not in their clique.

It probably is... but Churchill did have a bulldog "Dodo" & one named "Barley" ~ there is a resemblance in both! He also had poodles?

Ouch! TG you got there!!! Maybe the roo's are still a little young to know how to defend yet? Orps are just so sweet, stocky, slower, easy prey. Love them, but we chose skittish more agile breeds for our open yard cuz of all the Cooper's breeding in the area. Any chicken is a target, but give me a lithe or skittish bird for better escape chances. We've made a lot of hiding areas but still, those hawks are crafty hunters.
