Cool, please post pics as they get older.

When I have some free time I will take my tablet in someplace I can use WiFi so I can post pics.

Dammit Dammit Dammit.
Sun is setting later these days. I messed up and hadn't reset automatic coop door. Princess did not get in and I did not check. Heard her scream at 10:15. Nothing I could do at that point but pray and feel guilty

. It was fast. Well I'm praying it was.
RIP my sweet hen you will be missed.

X2 sorry for your loss
I lost 2 of my ladies Tuesday cuz the neighbor got a puppy.
They are no longer able to free range until we get the perimeter fence in place.

Neighbors' dogs (and hawks) are the reason mine don't get to free-range unless I'm outside with them. Hens are in a coop with full-time access to a run, and the first round of chicks this year are in an open-air coop. Going to be building a larger run for them all for days I am home but not outside. Knew we were going to have issues with them wandering here, biggest scare came about a month after getting the hens here. Woke up to their alarm calls and dogs barking, had 5 or 6 hunting dogs surrounding the coop. Scared them off, haven't seen them again since, that was about 6 months ago. So far have not had a predator get into the coops.
