The chickens are getting bigger and we are not the only ones watching them grow. A few weeks ago, Stan was woken up at two in the morning by frantic clucking. He went outside to investigate and saw two young possums in the neighbor's yard. Where was their mother?
Twice, I've been outside while the chickens have suddenly run for cover into the coop while making worried sounds. Both times a hawk was sitting on the fence waiting for it's chance at a chicken dinner.
Lastly, amazingly, in the middle of our city neighborhood, we've seen a coyote hanging around lately. It isn't very big, but we've seen it jump a six foot fence.
So...we lock them up each night and hope for the best. :)
