In the past few days, we have had a Cooper's Hawk visiting the Chickens. We are none to excited about this development. While the Hawk is unlikely to take one of the Big Chickens, those little Ones seem just the right size. Lacey is ever on guard and ready to take them to safety in a split second. In the meantime, we Humans are ready to run out if we hear their characteristic call indicating danger.

This evening, Richard and Melanie were commenting that Bantam Chickens would not be a good idea, nor would BB Reds. These varieties are small, even as Adults. Melanie said, should we decide to add either variety to our Flock, we might as well post a Menu. We talked about possible names. Shish, Ka, and Bob came up. No, we are not planning on adding these varieties any time soon.
