After a hiatus from laying our hens decided to start working again. This is our first egg of 2010. Unfortunately only one sad day after this photo was taken, our neighbors dog came down and killed one of our hens. Then there were two. It was really sad to watch that unmanaged dog run back home down the street with our food providing hen, dead in her mouth. This will likely stunt their laying and set us back further still buying eggs. At least our other neighbors hens are laying and we can buy from them to keep it local and fresh.
This is a reminder to pet owners. Please be responsible. Spay and neuter your pets. Don’t buy from puppy mills and for heavens sake DON’T let your dogs run loose all over your neighbors property. But then again, I would imagine most all HorseGirlTV viewers ARE responsible pet owners and don’t need this sort of reminder.
