| Sumthin' amok in the hen yard... |
 |
| Hmmmmmm... | |

Whilst mowing the grass the other day, I noticed an unusual amount of feathers in one location, could it be a predator...a chicken hawk...perhaps...or a neighbors cat or stray dog...
 |
| Louie.... |
Turning off the mower, I ran to do a head count, the birds were right behind me, following the mower for bugs unveiled...all were accounted for!
But on closer inspection, Louis was looking rather ruffled, missing feathers for sure, even a couple of flight feathers were gone...I remember sitting at the grooming table and noticing the shadow of a large bird fly by, then it flew back the other way, I looked out the window hoping to see what it was...nuthin!!!
But then I heard a distress call from the hens, nuthin' unusual, I hear them all the time...guess next time I'll come a runnin', as red tail hawks abound in my neck o the woods...all in a day at the ranch!!!
