So something has gone down today at the chicken pen. I heard some pretty major bird noises earlier and ran out. We grabbed the banana knife and went to investigate. My initial thoughts are always with the ducks, but as I could see them I knew it must have been the chickens. I thought it was one of the mother hens protecting her babies, but after about 4 hours all mothers and babies are accounted for. The only chicken that isn't is Young Boy. I think he got a whipping from Old Boy and is sulking. I'm not convinced that Old Boy has still got it in him, so I'm thinking an animal or something. I've looked around and can't see any feathers but I'll be sure to be on the look-out.
I re-patched the duck-proof fence this morning as have managed to sneak in through a few holes. Actually I just heard Young Boy crow, so I'll go and investigate further.
