Chicken Death Number 2
Our second chicken has died to a fox. Me and my sister Kayla were walking to check on the chickens when I saw a head with pointy ears and a long snout. It's head was silhouetted against the chickens lighted doorway. I ran back to the house and told mom and dad. Me and dad went out to check on the chickens again and look around. What we found was heartbreaking. A chicken had gotten all the feathers on his head totally ripped off and it's neck broken. Dad thought it was completely dead until it jumped off the board it was on and landed in the mud. This scared me and Dad to death. It was still partly alive, so Dad went to the garage and got a hatchet. I had to go and hold the light so that he could see what he was hitting. On the first hit he hit it but didn't kill it. He Hit it this time and killed him. We double bagged him in a trash bag and threw a him in the trash can. We were all very sad and I couldn't sleep that night for a while. We have eight more chickens and only one lays eggs. Please pray for our chickens.
