So we ate a couple, a couple ran away and we were left with a Top Hat pet hen. :) Then this spring, we got 8 sexed chicks and 3 different breeds. They were growing well and we had just moved them to the outside coup and then after a few nights, something attacked the coup and ate them all, including our pet hen from last year. WE got so sad that we gave up on chickens for now! Maybe in another year we will try again. The kids had such a great time collecting small eggs from our pet hen every day. She was small but gentle and sweet. So now Fluffly is in heaven. Tereza Crumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051821102578257785noreply@blogger.com
