Free Ranging Pros and Cons

Well after the Ginny incident, we wondered if we had anymore roos. I asked the farm who took Ginny if she could help us identify anymore in the pictures. She said that they were all hens. Yay!!! The chickens love to roam the yard. Unfortunately, a week later, I noticed only three hens. Hermoine was taken by a predator. We are not sure what did it as there was no sign of struggle with feathers or anything. The next night, it appears a bear ripped off the door of the coop. He didn't get any but we might have to put up an electric fence now. So as it stands, we are down now to three. We will have to see if we can find some more the same age to add to the flock. Tough lessons for the girls. Yesterday a coyote was in our yard and caught a robin and was eating it. Jigs got a good chase out of that one. Today we had two black tailed deer in the yard. Jigs got another good chase out of that one. It's strange to have all this wildlife all of a sudden. One wild resident that has gone missing is Bunny Foo Foo. He was a brown bunny who was here last year and this year but we have not seen him for a week now. I hope he is okay.
