Cabbage patches yield human babies. What kind of babies come from piles of leaves?

@DwayneNLiz @Jessimom @generalsherman @penny1960 @Wickedchickens6 and everybody else not mentioned, thanks. Here a couple of pictures of the survivors of my coop slaughter.

4 week old females of my Dark Cornish/Madisons




3 week old



I'm all excited about this cross. Check their double breast feature on their chests!!! Got another 24 eggs on my homemade bator and gonna candle tonight on day 3.

It's interesting you mentioned about who might have known  eldonrgv was away...hubby and I were talking about it after we dropped our steer off this morning and how awful this would have been...and hubby thought almost the same thing. Basically that someone must be watching and waiting or knew eldonrgv was gone.

I agree with you too, Jessimom!   Eldonrgv, you have an awesome outlook! Some people wouldn't be able to see past this. You're going to be successful in whatever you choose to do. Amazing perseverance.

Wow, that is HORRIBLE!!   I hope that some of your stuff shows up again - especially the incubator - they probably thought they were stealing a fridge - won't they be surprised when they cook their beer?

Do you have any idea who might have known you were gone?  Someone that you had taking care of the birds while you were gone?  Stealing that much stuff mean they knew they had plenty of time.  The property loss is one thing, but I can't get over the fact they left the gate open.  I am so sorry for your losses!!!

I love your positive outlook! 

I think I kind of messed up in this by letting everyone know that we were heading out of town on Facebook plus all our info is there also!!!! We sold a litter of Shi Tzu puppies on our local FB marketplace providing our physical address if anybody was interested......arggghhh ....feel such an idiot!!!!

Even left a sign in my truck.

Shouting Loud!!!

"HEY EVERYONE, THIS IS THE PLACE!!!! THERES NO ONE HOME!!"

 

[eldonrgv]

my Isbar pullet is laying pretty good. Let me know when you can incubate again, and I can send you some.

Thanks @generaldsherman, that would be great. I can send you some of my meat crossings also if you're interested.

Thanks. Started thinking how this could of happened and I figured this could of been the cause. When I was asked by other members "Who knew you were going out of town?"
