Oh, no

E-mail from my mother this evening:

[Stepfather] had bad news from [stepsister] today about their chickens. A dog got into the yard and killed all but one
rooster (badly bitten) and one hen that was saved by the fact she was inside laying an egg. So they are depressed.

What a rotten turn of events. I feel so bad for them. I guess they are investigating some better fencing now. *sigh*
