The Last of Mu.

So...this morning, at about 11.00 am, I saw a fox up near the edge of the bush crossing the clearing. It was quite a big one and the first I have spotted in sight of the house.We told the 'chooks' to be on their guard but did the stupid things listen? Did they heckers! No, the roosters crowed as if to say "Hey Foxy, here we are! Come and get us!"The sneaky fox must have spent the next two hours stalking through the bush round the back of the house.At about 1.00pm such a commotion went up with all the 'chooks' crying out in alarm. Will was gardening and I was hanging out the washing and we both rushed over to see what was going on...though we both really knew.The brazen beast had snatched Chang-Mu from right in front of the loo. We were both about and 'Geronimo' the generator was going to power the washer but it had come right up close to the house to grab her.We found a scattering of feathers and Will eventually found a few more South West of the house, down the hill, in the bush.Poor Chang, she was the last of the Mu sisters to be taken from us. We lost the others in the two Quoll attacks months ago.We have eight chooks left. The hens are Pacha, Iris, Arke and Hecate and the roosters are Yudhisthira, Odin, Wang -Mu (offspring of Mu) and the horrible black one we haven't named whose days are numbered.
