Ida and Marilyn. Two hens we've had for years. Young fox has got in and killed them both this evening , but could not get them out of the hole it got in. [Poor language removed]. If you don't eat them as chickens they get to be real characters....
Its really great keeping chickens - characters like you say. Our last one died a few weeks ago and we're having a chicken break for a bit so we can - you know - be spontaneous and go away a while.

Haven't seen a rat since the last chicken pegged it. Almost a plague before that.

I guess the rats are attracted to the eggs..or is it to the pellets you feed chooks?Their absence of rats makes a compelling case for not keeping chickens at all, imo.
