After trapping another fox a few weeks ago, The Funny Farm and neighboring farms are still losing chickens. At least two foxes have been seen in recent days: another small gray fox and a bigger red one. Big Red is thought to be the leader of this bad band of killers. He'd better watch his tail.
Lizzy Found After Night Spent Lost In Woods
Chris noticed Lizzy, his favorite black and tan polish chicken had gone missing one evening last week. A search party was dispatched, but to no avail. Lizzy was presumed dead. The family spent the night in grief. The next morning, as Chris was checking the fox trap, more determined than ever to catch the villainous foxes, he noticed something on the hill next to the woods in the neighbor's pasture. To his great surprise, he discovered it was Lizzy. He called her name, but as her head feathers greatly inhibit her vision, she could not find her way to him. Joe was sent over the fence to retrieve the lost bird and Lizzy was brought back home to safety. Lizzy is now confined to a chicken tractor where she will be prevented from running off and getting lost again.
