Chickens...sad tale

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. Life is always busy busy busy!

Things were going pretty well with our chickens. They were big enough to go outside, and all was fine and dandy until something ate four of our chickens in less than 36 hours! :( So, we had two left...hoping they were hens. Turns out they are both roosters! So, we gave one of the roosters to my mom and dad, in trade for three of their chicks. A varmint also killed the last rooster we had, leaving us with the three new chicks. They were still little, so we kept them in a dog kennel in the barn. Not even a week went by and one of the chicks was dead...eaten by a varmint through the dog kennel! It was awful! We still have the two chicks left and they're doing well...I just hope nothing eats them!
