What a sad day.... I went out and one of the little silkies died last night.

Beth, it was the one that DD named Pinkie, the one who was dyed w/ kool-aid from you. :( The ladies in the coop always kept them (Pinkie and her sister) out of the coop at night. It's been so cold the last for nights I had been putting them in the coop. Last night I totally forgot to check, and they were out soaking wet and cold all night and she ended up found huddled in the corner of the run. Her sister is so bummed.

And poor DD, she was just in tears.... not a good day.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows of any! I'm not worried about color.

I am so sorry to hear how it happened. I hope you can find some more. At least they probably went quick.
