Keeping hens here is a risk with so many animals about--raccoons,possums, skunks, mink, weasels, fox, snakes...and we've had issues with all of the above, None is so hard as dogs, though. That really makes me see red when a dog gets to my hens.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-54695599667740197972013-08-01T20:47:21.193-04:002013-08-01T20:47:21.193-04:00I lost one of my hens this way on July 3rd, and I ...I lost one of my hens this way on July 3rd, and I feel sick about it. It had been SO HOT and SO MUGGY for days and days, and I didn't have the heart to shut up the doors to the henhouse when they were already gasping with their beaks open at nightfall with the door open. Woke up mid night to exactly that fluttery kerfuffle and by the time I got outside there was that haertbreaking wail, sounding far from the house. As I hastened along my torch died, and the sound stopped. Next morning I found feathers all the way down along the road. I think raccoon but don't know for sure. The 22 has been by the back door ever since. This was a very good hen who had had a tough start and always did her best. I feel just awful that I let her down.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-76460305099729253342013-08-01T11:03:36.532-04:002013-08-01T11:03:36.532-04:00Curious and curiouser.
