We May Have A Little Problem...

Mark found three piles of feathers...not chicken but bird.  Thank heavens.  I feel bad for the little bird and so thankful it wasn't one of the girls.  Since the girls only free range a few hours right before they roost and I am with them the entire time, I am praying that this never happens.  So I got out all my chicken books to see if I could figure what kind of predator we are dealing with.  Seems that everything points to some kind of hawk.  I have seen them flying high above and once I even saw one swoop near the coop.  Guess we are all going to need to be on Red Alert when the girls are out.  Don't think two ton Ella is in any danger!
