I arrived home this evening to hear that one of our chickens had disappeared, probably taken by a Sparrow Hawk or other raptor given that all the other chickens and ducks were spooked and in hiding under the hedge and in their houses. It was a young hen and not a cockerel which would be less missed. It's difficult to protect them from airborne predators. The hapless chicken was just coming up to point of lay. Harrumph.
