THE FAMILY CHICKENS MET AN UNFORTUNATE FATE THE SECOND TO LAST WEEK OF AUGUST 2008.  THE NEIGHBORS DOGS KILLED MY BELOVED CHICKENS AND THE BIRDS PUT UP A GALLANT FIGHT AS FEATHERS WERE SCATERRED EVERYWHERE.  THE POOR THINGS HAD THEIR BREASTS DESTROYED AND ONE CHICKEN WAS DECAPITATED BY THE DOGS.  I PROMPTLY BURIED MY FRIENDS IN MY PARENTS BACK YARD RIGHT NEXT TO OTHER DECEASED FAMILY PETS.
