Some years are worse than others with predators. Stray dogs in the past have been some of the worst. I have cried a few times and felt disheartened for a few min but just have to pick up and go on.
I am going to have to name my boys and girls sometimesoon. I have a few names in mind.

those are nice. I have a bucket for mine but our water is so hard it keeps getting stopped up with lime scale. Just about the time I am going good and using distilled water I end up running out and have to put the regular in and then I stop up again.. I ended up just adding water to the tray every three days. I like the bucket better.

Look again.. that white thing on top is the water bucket. You have a great setup

Yes those kind of names tend to stick. My DH reminded me today how I sold his favorite cockerel he named Hoss cause he was so large. He named one boy we had for a while Tank cause he looked like one. WE have had Tubby and Tubby Jr. nicknamed TJ. Fun letting the names just come with something associated with the bird
