Well a little while ago we had a big snowstorm, and when Jim went out to check on the chickens, they had all vanished. There was no sign of them inside their enclosure, and no sign of struggle or anything like that. We felt bad, and wondered what happened to them.
Then the snow melted, and Jim went out to look, and he reported that he saw signs of a struggle all right. "What kind of signs?" I wanted to know. "A couple of legs" he elaborated. Eww! Disembodied chicken legs!
So I am sad that the chickens I've suffered to live for several years despite their lack of giving me either eggs or respect have been viciously eaten by something. Probably late at night, crawling through their door (which has been open for two years without harldly any incident.)
Bright side? I get to have new chicks! I'm thinking not all Rhode Island Reds, they are just too nervous for life at Caitlin & Jim's Green Acre. =)
Natalie, I deposited your check yesterday.
