There was sad news in the garden this week and it had nothing to do with the weather. A fox got into the chicken coup in the dead of night and killed all but one of the chickens. As Bridgette contemplated what to do with the solitary hen (apparently they don't like being introduced to new mates) there was suddenly a shriek from the end of the garden as one of the girls found another of the hens alive and well. This cunning chick had foiled Mr fox with an ingenious escape route. The plucky survivor is pictured above with Bridge.
