Well just as we thought we were getting the hang of this chicken keeping lark we get dealt a sad blow. The chucks were about ready for bed and we were thinking time to go shut the girls away. Kim went out only to come running back in shouting, " Bella's gone !" All that was left was a pile of feathers....so it looks like a fox was out on the prowl earlier than we expected. Frankie was cowering under a bush clearly shaken from what she had witnessed.
We're both a bit stunned....a helpless feeling really that we let our girls down by not looking after them.
Bella was my favourite as she came to you when you called and liked being handled. Sad now she has gone.
R.I.P. Bella. xxx.
