Rethinking my notion of barn cats

7/6/2013

We went to feed the barn chickens - Hudson, Beatrice, and their 2 chicks.  One chick is missing.  There is no sign of a predator which must mean a cat jumped over the fence into the run.  And all along I've been a supporter of the barn cats - catching the mice that always seem to be everywhere.  But I had stupidly thought they would leave the BARN CHICKENS alone!  Like the house cat George leaves the chickens alone - she knows they are not hers to eat.  Yet it seems the barn cats don't know that rule.  I am going to have to rethink their place in our happy family.
RIP little chicken - you were guaranteed to be a very cute hen.
