That is funny and sad at the same time.

Funny, because we too have had house chicks and house piglets,...now if you want to hear noise have house piglets...their little squeals are so loud you think your head will explode. :D

Sad because you have lost so many to predators. I sympathize with you my friend but don't lose heart. :D The fresh eggs are worth it and they are so entertaining to watch. :D
