Horrifying pictures just received from the camera of 'Kilchoan Early Bird' showing the corpses of ten of Hughie MacLachlan's chickens killed last night, possibly by the same mink that was despoiling Tom Bryson's rare breed flock (see previous post
here).
The Diary sincerely hopes that
this hen wasn't one of those that lost her life last night.
These are the family's chickens, which were always to be seen pecking around the barn. Commiserations to Hughie and Sharon.

ReplyDeleteThe Diary can't count: there are twelve dead hens in the picture, not ten.

Broxy and Bruno are needing some work any time
