Elles sont mortes

I checked last night & the auto door was closing but I did find a hole where fouines could get in so I've not yet ruled them out.
The remaining 2 chooks are still alive this morning.

They seemed ok yesterday & we got 2 eggs from 3 laying chooks (one is transitioning).

Transitioning into a cockerel?

I once read a newspaper article about two passengers who had died on a transatlantic flight. The British Airways’ spokesman said that it was not suspicious, deaths were common, multiple deaths on the same flight were much rarer but did happen. Let’s hope the chickens are no more than a rare coincidence.

Yep.
It started a while ago & I posted here about it. https://www.franceinfocus.com/viewtopic ... 075#p24075
It's a phenomenon that's been well documented

Just managed to talk to the 'local expert' who thinks it was probably a Belette which is a small weasel.
The other two chooks are still with us & I've blocked up the only hole I could find, so, here's hoping it's moved on to chicken coops new.

Fingers crossed for your girls, LAF. If you've got chicken-keeping neighbours, do them a favour (if the word hasn't already got around) and warn them. If my neighbour had done the decent thing, I wouldn't have lost eight out of ten of mine last year.

They know.
Us chook keepers have got to stick together

We are picking up a couple of rescue hens on Tuesday. Looking forward to giving them a caring home in exchange for nice eggs.

Good luck with the gals.
We've just asked our chook expert/breeder neighbour if he's got any for sale & apparently there'll be none ready until September.

How are your gals getting on in their new home?
