feels like Monday morning

[tielan]

We lost two of the chooks sometime on Friday Night/Saturday Morning. Most likely a fox since one body was found headless and wingless. The electric door was faulty and didn't close and it looks like it took them while they were asleep. :(

They were the two new ones, too. We were just getting used to having them! So now I have to fix up the electric door and find another couple of chooks.

This week, I'm going to get things done.

morning done:
- written more of the infodump scene
- sent out an email to managing committee for gardening group
- updated credit card for donations to a friend
- called several legal firms about property issue
- am rising no-knead bread

Going out to do some compost sieving now.

Oh no! Poor chickens. :(

It was something of a shock to come out and realise that they weren't there, and then that a fox must have taken them. :(

Good thing one of my favorite books is set in another British-invasion country (South Africa) or I would have had no idea what "chooks" were, lol. Sorry to hear foxes (probably) got them. :-( How many do you normally have? What breed? My in-laws used to have Aracanas (sp?), which lay lovely pale blue eggs.

We had two for years: an Isa Brown and a Leghorn.

We got two more just at the start of Covid season: a Hyline and a Sussex. They were just settling in, and we were going to start integrating them, then BOOM. Gone.
