Rowly, Jim mentioned raccons got one of his birds, just wondering what you are doing to keep yours 'safe'? I have had many grand ideas for keeping chickens, or sheep or alpacas etc... but they wouldn't last more then a week with the coons, fishsers, wolves and bears I have around. (And I am only 30 or so km from Downtown Ottawa...)
