Unfortunately keeping animals you sometimes lose some when you least expect. It seems we have a couple of wild or domesticated dogs hanginging around the farm at the moment resulting in us losing 6 chickens in a night two weeks ago. I have introduced another two since but it's and they are definitely not the same. It is amazing the difference of the 5 survivors to the two newby's. The chickens have become quite domesticated since we've had them to the point they follow you around like dogs and what has shocked me the most is just how trusting they still are given no doubt the ordeal the survivors went through. Luckily "Rodney" the Rooster is still around he has become such a character around the farm and loosing him would have made it so much worse.
