Bessy, Logan's hen chick, got out of her box this morning. Didn't stand a chance with the hunter cats around.
And then there were three.
We are all very sad around here this morning.

So sorry to hear this. Hope Logan takes it ok.
ReplyDeleteOh Val,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. Give your sweet Logan a hug from us.

I knew I couldn't get tiny babies again because the older chickens would peck them to death attempting to get the pecking order established again. So I ran to Dell's with Logan and asked if they had chicks still that were from our batch.
ReplyDeleteThey had exactly two left... And I got them both. We are naming them Bessy 2 and Betty.
I also bought a 1x1inch hog fence metal top for the brooder box. Not chickens out, no cats in.
Lets just hope that they can last another 5 wks until they can be outside. Then I think they will be fine... but until they are too big for the cats to prey on.........
