More About Chickens

There have been a few predator attacks lately. There was a dog attack on August 3rd, 2007 that I lost 9 chickens in. On October 21st, 2007 Snowy disappeared and the next day a bobcat got one of the chicks. Now the mother hen (who has been at the bottom of the pecking order) keeps disappearing and coming back so there's just 4-5 chickens now. Then I heard a chicken outside and it was her! She left again and I havn't seen her since October 2007.

Here is a picture of the flock:The remaining chick is growing fast. Here's a picture of him almost 5 months old:
