My only losses like that but we put 8 foot field wire above what was there.

I found a small, dead mouse outside the secure run yesterday. It's possible that the neighbor's cat did its job but wasn't interested in eating its prey.

I usually give dead mice to the chickens but since I wasn't 100% sure of how it died I tossed it out into the garden. It might have been poisoned from nibbling on one of the bait blocks in the shop.

The plan for today is picking kale and lettuce, and planting a group of 25 or so zinnias in the garden for the pollinators and parasitic insects.

There was more kale out there than I thought, so I'll be doing some blanching and freezing today. I cut 5 or 6 leaves from each of the 10 kale plants, and some of them were over 2 feet long! It's a good year for red Russian kale.

ETA: I ended up with three packed pints of blanched greens and two pints of chopped stems, also blanched. I'll add the stems to homemade soups.
