For any of you that ever wondered if E.T. ever made it home...he didn't, somehow he got stuck in my SIL walnut tree! 🤣

My husband almost made my heart drop into my stomach this afternoon! He'd just gotten home from golf and I told him thank you for having my tea cup ready. Then he told me he was sorry, but he had some sad news for me...he says "a hawk got one of your Buff Orpington hens"! I was very confused because I had just been out to the pen and I was sure that I had seen all 3 of them...I asked him where, he said it was on the edge of the lawn by the driveway, when he left for golf this morning. We immediately went to the pen so I could do a head count...thankfully all of mine were there. The one he found must have belonged to a neighbor as it wasn't one of mine! I'm sad for the hen, but so relieved that it wasn't one of my girls! That also would have been a long way for a hawk to carry one of my plump ladies!

Wow. That's a big bird for a hawk to grab. So glad it wasn't one of yours!

The hawk I've seen is pretty good sized, but yeah, I don't think it could carry a BO very far! I think the chicken must have wandered into our yard and the hawk caught it right there. The feathers seemed to be pretty confined.
