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.
