Tragic Loss

I lost one of my girls to a coyote the other day. I thought the rest of the girls would have experienced a little grief for their fallen sister, I thought that one no lay day would have been appropriate, but I would be wrong on that one! Six eggs were gifted to me the next morning! I guess there is more room on the perch, and if you're a chicken it's all about the high roost! We have now been trying to wrangling them in before their chosen roosting hour, witch has become a kind of sport. Apparently it was not Crazy Clara that was taken, she has me chasing her all over the property with brief periods set aside for negotiations. Don't get me wrong I could use the exercise, but it is eating into my wine sipping time and you can imagine how I feel about that!
