We have learned so much from having chickens. Nothing as much though, as about the circle of life. We have both good and bad over the weekend. I guess the bad first- we lost our beloved Pumpkin to a hawk on Saturday. She was a favorite of everyone, especially Megan, from the very beginning. 
She was a buffed laced polish. Very beautiful, very friendly, very stupid. I'm sorry to say that- but they really are. They wander off and get lost, they have gone a couple houses up the street, and on Saturday she had gone into the vineyard 2 houses the other way and was grabbed by a hawk there. This must be the reason they are such a rare breed.
Poor Megan, she was heartbroken. But- we have good news. We have a full incubator and our first chick due this week. (Is this what happens when you stop having babies yourself???- I am not going crazy am I???)
We hope that maybe some of the eggs in there are from Pumpkin or Cream who is still with us.
