didn't know chickens were carnivorous?!?

Lovely to see all the ladies well this morning, but imagine my surprise when Coraline comes over with a suspiciously furry grey thing hanging out of her mouth...yes, it was half (bottom) of one of Sarah's favorite creatures, Country Mouse (make that sad Country Mouse). Oh well, Darwin hard at work in the Park Hill Chicken Coop, I suppose! Anyway, just as a head's up...the top lock was missing from the coop door, but all looked secure. Also, I thought the little black and white spotted girl was surely going to be MIA as I chased her around the house, until finally I had to do an impromptu blockade of garbage cans, tomato cages borrowed from the garden and the P**p bucket (in which at first pass she flew over!!!), but finally got her in - phew! No much else to report, except that I put this month's edition of "Backyard Poultry" in the "info"box...check it out - worth a chuckle or two!
'Til next Thursday...

  1. i think little black and white girl needs to be named dash or something appropriate like that. she is the one who surprised amy and me the first day by "flying" in one fell swoop up to a rafter.
