It was a large boisterous dog. I never saw it, but I did see its footprints, and they were big. Anyway, it appeared to have shaken each of my birds to death. Sorry to say. The good news is my husband got inspired and built me an awesome fence, with 4x4 fence posts driven 30 inches into the ground, woven wire, and a totally fenced in top.
Life certainly goes on.
I bought fertile eggs which came in the mail all the way from Maine. The box was big enough to put a TV into, but inside the box was another, smaller box. Inside of the smaller box, each individually bubble-wrapped, was an egg. All eggs survived the trip intact. The buff colored bird is a Buff Orpington, Buffy.
