Sadly, we had another chicken fatality last week. Poor Pansy the blue laced Barnevelder succumbed to the fox. There was some confusion as to who exactly became fox food. I was concerned it was one of the two left that I had raised this spring. Luckily, those two survived (which is a minor miracle as those two tend to be the most adventurous of the bunch).
While I'm disappointed I lost Pansy, she was not very friendly and was quite difficult to catch. Not to mention her skittish nature, which is how she earned her name (because she was a pansy not because of anything related to the flower).
Just means there will be one more chick in the brooder in 2016.
And in other news, I'm slightly closer to being able to share The Big News. I'm hoping to be able to share with everyone all the new developments by the end of the week- if things go the way I want them to. I have no patience and keeping this news to myself is killing me!
