Bye Bye Birdie :*(

Two of Roger's "girls" bit the dust today.  Little Silky, and the black one.  I guess we have been too lax in letting them out.  Seriously, some days I let them out at noon, then head back to work and Rog doesn't get home until 5pm.  They have seemed to fare okay, roaming around the barnyard and yard.  Today Roger went over town for 10 minutes to get a pop, and when he got home disaster had struck.   Poor little Silky.  She was so so cute.  Apparently the brown chicken was able to hide in a pipe or ditch out back, and made an appearance a little while later.  She will sure be lonely without her two girlfriends, and I don't suppose we will let her out like we used to.  We need to get something set up in the barnyard, so that they (we will get more) can be out and roam around, yet be safe and protected from marauding dogs and cats or hawks or whatever got them.
