Day 24- And then there were Four

Sadly we have lost two chicks. Yesterday morning we noticed there were only five chicks. My theory is that early that morning one of them got out of their cage (they are able to get through the wire while they are small, but cats can't get in) and was captured/ eaten by a neighborhood cat. It was the brown chick that I think was a rooster anyway. Then later that afternoon while we were around the house and the chicks were freeranging around the yard we noticed there was another one missing. This cat must have thought he has found some easy chicken dinners. We will need to keep a closer eye on these guys now. Rest in Peace, yellow chickie #3 and brown chick #2. Other than "Coo Coo" who is easily identifiable, we have not officially named any of the others. Now that there is only one brown one, she will be named Henrietta.
