Keep out the wolf

 Last night as we were getting ready to call it an evening I heard the girls making all kinds of noise. Flash light in hand I went right out to see what the problem could be. The light was still on in the hen house and all seemed fine however there was a abundance of feathers scattered through out the hen house. The red laced wyndott center hen in the picture seemed to have some ruffled feathers on her back. I picked her up and inspected her back and she seemed fine, no broken skin and no signs of trauma. I have no idea where all the feathers came from. There was no sign of entry to the hen yard. The girls settled right down when I threw some corn in the crock. As you can see in the picture they were very happy and not too bothered. I still have no idea what the problem was. I had become complacent about closing the hen house door eliminating the access to the hen yard. I have always thought they are secure. But after this hen house hassle I am not taking any chances. The door is closed and they are safe and sound and tucked in each night.
