It looks like I may have had my first predator attack yesterday. I've been free ranging my flock all along in the back yard during the day, but sure enough, my husband came home to a poof of Barred Rock feathers. We can't find a body anywhere. The feathers are concentrated to a small area, probably 2 feet across. It's not a TON of feathers, though. Not nearly enough for a whole chicken.
We do have a dog, but he never messes with the chickens. I'm not saying he never will, but I just feel like if it were him we would see more scattered feathers and eventually a body or parts.
I'm thinking hawk. Any opinions?
In other news, it's cold.
Has anyone been on this website called pinterest.com? I've been browing it this morning. It features lots of recipes, DIY projects, decorating ideas..Pretty neat!
Does anyone have any tried and true homemade Christmas gifts that they do? I'm thinking of trying to make some this year..
