About a month ago, I shared that two of our chickens were killed by the biggest fox this side of the Rockies. That brought our flock down to just three birds, which is about the minimum number of chickens needed for them to feel safe and have their social needs met, etc. Each of our remaining girls—Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy—are three years old, which is not old for a backyard bird, but also not, forgive me, a spring chicken. We decided we better get a couple more birds to round out the flock before the group got any smaller.
