Well, he kept himself alive at least.Théo...hiding under a pile of hay in the coop.
Last night I had dinner with friends who told me about the time a fox raided their flock and their rooster (Ragnar) hid in a tree for two days during a heatwave. When he finally came out of the tree, he was exhausted and almost in heat stroke. But he sat on their back doormat and they gave him water and he lived to fight another day.
The other survivors were a black hen who hid in the dark and a pullet who hid behind her. The victim was a white hen, who didn't stand a chance against a fox a nighttime.
