Chicken Update

For those of you who have been concerned about our chickens, let me finally post an update!  Kevin strengthened our fencing and has been closing the chickens in at night. They've been protected and we've not lost another one to the mysterious predator.

Their egg production has dropped a little though we are usually getting more than a dozen a day.  Of course, having 3 chickens eaten a couple of weeks ago didn't help.  But the remaining 18 just aren't laying as well. That might well be related to the heat.  It has been SO hot.  But we're fine with a dozen plus a day, and indeed have had enough to sell to friends.
