My floc of 6 doing well (as couple of Hen recovering from Molting stage).   I lost one of my favorite Chocolate Cuckoo hen who just started to lay.  I was pretty bummed about it, but that's life in the harsh world.   "Chicken gotta scratch, Hawk's gotta eat".  Oh well.  I am really hopping that my other Chocolate Cuckoo doesn't become a Hawk Bait.  I would love to see Nigel and her offspring maybe next Spring.  I let them free range which has its downside.

  1. I forgot to mention, I lost my other Chocolate Hen to most likely a Hawk. After that, my flock was attacked by a Coyote in the broad day light. Fortunately, all chicken were safe after the attack.
