Spooked!

So...returning from a trip into town I noticed the hens next door were calling in alarm.I looked for our birds and couldn't see them anywhere. Looking around I found one of the guinea fowl hunkered down in the garden by the house and chased it out of the garden. I found the other three guinea fowl and Arke hiding in the shed behind Will's old scooter. Searching further I found our un-named black hen hiding under the old trailer.It was obvious something had spooked them all and it was most probably a fox. It looked like Sheng-Mu and Pacha had been taken but I couldn't find any feathers anywhere. Searching the shed further I was relieved to find Pacha and Sheng-mu also hiding in the shed. They stayed hidden all afternoon until evening then they crept out. They kept close to the house before finally dashing across the open ground into their pen.I locked them all in safely. They will now be in there until Monday as I am in school tomorrow and Will is cheese-making all day and then we are off to Brisbane on Saturday until Monday.They should be safe in there now I have fixed the bit that the fox managed to breach. I have re-set the fox trap.
