Hello There,

Russ and I have our Grand Daughter, Hailie Jade staying here with us this week and yesterday we had a horrible thing happen.  Hailie and I took the chickens out of their chicken run and let them have some yard time to get some sunshine while we worked on edging some gardens with cement block.  I swear they were not out long, maybe an hour.  When we went to put them back in their run we only counted 8 chickens instead of 9.  We search the property, neighbor’s yards etc. and no sign of Pearl.

I had seen a hawk in the area a couple of days before so at that point with tears in our eyes, Hailie and I chalked Pearl up as being a meal for the local hawk.

Let me tell you it was a very sad afternoon and evening.  Pearl was one of the younger more expensive Marans hens so that made me even sadder.

Now wait, there is a happy ending to this story.  When I went to lock up the girls for the evening guess who, after being gone 6 hours was just waiting outside of the run, you guessed it, Pearl!!!  Whoohoo!   I don’t know where she was or what she was up to, but she made it back.  She has never been one to fly so I was surprised that she flew over the fence.  I guess it’s time to clip her wings.

The photo above is one happy Hailie Jade holding Pearl the brat chicken.  What a relief!

Have a terrific uneventful evening!
