And then there was 5… I keep forgetting to mention that Flo the chicken, did not survive her injures.
She died one night in the nesting box.
I guess that concludes the Copper Maran experiment. All three of them have met their demise. One a hawk, one bad genes and a fox, and the last one a raccoon.
I’m done feeding the wildlife. We have been setting out a trap a night, and have since caught 2 raccoons.
