Death of a Chicken - RIP

Country living is quite interesting at times and sad. I had just arisen and had my first cup of coffee in hand. Gazing out the window on the back porch I saw a streak of brown and black fly by. Suddenly up pops a fox with our black chicken in its mouth and it took off for the woods. I let the dogs out and they gave chase but returned after about 20 minutes. It is so rare to see the wildlife that close to the house, I wonder why it took the chance that the dogs would not be out in the yard.

Only two left.
