I had a nice upbeat blog post planned for today, with some nice pictures and updates. This morning, though, we experienced a farm tragedy. Bullet and Lily got into the chicken yard, and killed at least one of the girls - one of the lovely barred rocks. Three more girls are MIA, and I was able to save one. I know that Bullet and Lily are (young) dogs, and they were only acting like dogs do, but I'm a heartbroken chicken mom right now.
We'll be beefing up security on the chicken yard this week, since if our sometimes simple minded dogs can get in, the girls are vulnerable to other predators. We're going to start by adding electric chicken netting to the outside of the fence, and try to think of anything else we can do. Poor girls.
