Our little chick Lightning is no longer with us. Sunday afternoon we were all out in the backyard- Jas was mowing, I was cleaning the chook house and putting in the new chook feeder, and the boys were on the trampoline. The chooks and chicks were out in the yard, scratching and fluffing about. Somehow the hen and 2 chicks got into the back garden (through the fence) and then into the neighbours yard, then into the back neighbours yard. We were able to get the hen and Francesco back but not before we think their dog got our little chick.
Needless to say we all learnt a valuable lesson/s. The chickens have been a bit off colour since and stopped laying completely. It was a pretty frantic afternoon trying to get them back so we are just hoping they got a fright but will be ok again soon.
