Sometimes it seems like all I ever post is bad news. Of all the OEGB chicks I hatched last summer, most were taken by hawks while I was out of town. This isn't shocking. Hawks have to eat, too. The couple that survived were taken down by a bacterial infection months ago. I can keep them alive for a little while with antibiotics, but they appear to go septic (maybe they're being injured by Hef or eating small bits of metal?). Alas, I lost my last one to another infection this week. I found her curled up next to the back door, in a little pile of leaves. Bless her heart.
