fr499y 0 Posted March 6, 2012 Woke up this morning to find 2 chickens without heads in the garden! pretty pissed off as one i raised from a egg not long back spent a bit looking for the other 3 but only found one more hiding under the trees. Bastard foxes really annoy me at times!!! Was hoping to find the other 3 in other gardens alive and kicking but doesn't look like i will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
