We are down to five hens and 3 roosters. We lost a couple hens this winter to old age and we lost our beautiful white rooster to a fox or hawk. Luna leaves them alone now, which I am so grateful for. Zebra has fully healed from her last encounter with Luna. She was chewed up on her back really bad. I nursed her back to health and now she is doing great. It makes me wonder if I made the right decision to put Buttercup down after she was attacked. Could she have healed? I miss her.
Landon thinks the chickens are so cool. It is love. He cuddles them, coos to them and is so gentle. As long as it is warm out he is eager to help care for them. After bringing Zebra inside to play, he proclaimed, “mama, chickies really do love the beach. They like digging in the sand and playing in the water!” Well, buddy, hopefully we can test your theory once in Oregon!
