Chickens are gone

July 31, 2010

Well now, the chickens only lasted a week … due to our  “helpful dogs”.  On Wednesday morning Rosie brought her hunt to Doug expecting a treat for ridding us of another farm pest.  Needless to say,  she didn’t get the reception she was expecting.  Neither, Sean nor Doug we happy to see that she persistently broke  into the back of the hen house and dragged the last surviving chicken out.  Poor Henrieta and Charlie are no longer with us.  Rosie and Quinnie will be having “Chickens are our friends” training in the near future… after we fortify the orchard fence with hot wire and reconstruct the hen house.

    Well, well, well. I guess there will be no eggs and no fried chicken for you! Love Carla

    Indeed, chickens ARE our friends…but they’re tasty, too! I am sorry about this setback, and hope that the canine reeducation effort proves successful. Mary
