It was perhaps not a great return on her egg sitting investment since this number of eggs had been under her and didn't hatch:
I went in to take pictures and she puffed up protectively, one chick hid under her.
We put her and the chicks in the partitioned area at the back of the henhouse and reinforced the walls a bit. It was all very sweet until about an hour later when Hunter came over. When I arrived at the coop he was chasing chickens around. He ran into the coop and through the partition, the chanteclair came out of the hole and, when I grabbed him, he was leaning over the chicks. There was widespread chicken panic, much clucking and fluttering, but no harm seemed to have been done.
The dog is a problem. Unless it just disappears we're at risk of getting into a war with the owners.
L'enfer c'est les autres.
