And then there were ten.

So...we recently returned home from a day on which we were both working to fine we were another chook down. This one was taken in broad daylight so it could only have been a fox this time. I saw a scruffy looking fox cross the road in front of Roxy the other day down by two the gate. The missing chook was one of the last two from our last batch of chicks and was unnamed. We suspect it was another rooster so it is no great loss. Will found a scattering of white feathers in the bush at the back of the house. On the day it went missing we returned to find the rest of the hens all huddled together for safety by the house. They don't wander too far from the house these days. We have not been getting any eggs as they have all been moulting but in the last few days we have had two eggs so hopefully they will start laying again soon.
