Life's not all good news. We (The family) were away on Saturday night (16/10/2010) at a wedding. I hadn't organised the neighbour to close and open the chook pen. I guess I thought we'd get away with it as we have many times before.
Anyway, all four birds are dead, killed by a fox. Three were taken, one was on the ground, head removed. Feathers everywhere. It would have been horrible for them.
I'm devistated,especially because of my stupidity - I could so easily have prevented this. Three of the birds had just started laying after breeding them up. The white Aracana, fluffy, was Ben's pet. She'd been a lovely mum to the chicks. She was clever, and she trusted us. We got her from a friend, probably 3-4 years ago.
