Well, our dear and beloved rooster has gone missing. The last sighting of him was on Saturday and nobody has seen hide nor feather of him since then. We do have our suspicions as to what has happen. On Sunday my DH found a skunk under the red barn on the other side of our property. He went to kill it but discovered it was already dead, (and might I mention it was well fed.) It wasn't until yesterday that we made the connection between the rooster missing and the skunk. I'm sure going to miss that friendly rooster but at least I know he went down with a fight.
This past month and half hasn't been so good for our chickens. Two were found dead in a watering trough and one had to be taken care because it was eating all the eggs. Sadly we are down to 4 hens, so you can bet on the fact we'll be getting some chicks this Spring!
On a completely different note we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did. It was a great time to spend with family and friends not to mention all the yummy food we got to eat.
Now we are looking forward to the New Year and all that it has to bring!
