RIP Bertha

Okay, l knew the day might come but now that it has l feel awful. Bertha, the fat, egg – less hen has gone, last seen wondering the willow beds with her friends and now believed to have been taken by Monsieur Renard.She was the slowest of them all but the nicest. She would always let me pick her up.

I have to look at how l am going to keep the others now as he will be back for more. Cubs need feeding but not on my hens! I will have to make a bigger enclosure for them and only let them into the field under close scrutiny. Poor Bertha.
