After 10 years of backyard chickening, my flock of 6 were massacred last night. Something(s) created and forced through a small gap in the coop and ripped the heads off all my sweet girls. Only ate half of one. I can’t believe the grief I’m feeling. I’m literally wrecked and feel so guilty and sad. What an awful way to die. I’ve lost a chicken here and there over the years of course which is always sad, but to lose them all at one night- and some were truly elderly- at least 10 yrs old- and STILL laying the occasional egg. Fed my family for years. All done. I feel sick. I’m shocked by the violence and by how hard this is to take. I myself am no spring chicken and have weathered some storms, but this has me in a tailspin Guess I’ll be buying eggs from now on.
