Sick at heart

[HippieGurl]

My babies, white silkies, were having their playtime outside today, I was right there, but it didn't stop a stray cat from grabbing my Muffin. I chased the cat screaming and yelling like a mad woman but to no avail :-( I cried. I am so sad. Muffin was my special one. He was six weeks old.

Sorry to hear that!!

I'm sorry.

I am blaming myself, but they love to be out of the coop. They are seven weeks old so I hoped they were big enough not to be such a temptation. Live and learn but it is so heartbreaking because you get attached.

That must have been awful! Poor Muffin. What a brazen stray, too. I guess Silkies are pretty small, even at 7 weeks. I lost one of my 4 week olds to some kind of predator last week. It is hard to lose them but they really do love to be outdoors and exploring, so it's hard to deny them those pleasures.
