Malcolm and the Chickens


Malcolm loves his chickens, and he has gotten really good at helping me take care of them. However; things on the chicken front have really taken a bad turn as Portland faced the worst snowstorm, or really set of snow storms in the last 40 years. Chloe, my favorite little red hen was killed by a raccoon who also tried to get in the coop to finish the job with the last two yesterday, but I brought them into the house and safety. When are not covered in a ton of snow, Malcolm always checks their water and likes to stay outside playing with the chickens, watching them eat, and imitating the way their beaks move.
