Life's a bitch.

Today we lost the golden chicken to more local wildlife. The sparrowhawk has been hanging around for some time and today chicken was on the menu. The chickens are in the habit of coming across to the backdoor for breakfast and the sparrowhawk ambushed her on the way. Fortunately Kate spotted the hawk and ran into the garden but it was too late. The other one is traumatised but surviving and avoiding wide open spaces!! Even more reasons to get the chicken run finished - get her inside before the sparrowhawk gets her too and get more chickens so she has some company.
