Quote: See i wont cull or stew anything that i have had any hand in raising. Just can't do it. If one is ill or injured it's different, but I wont do it just to do it. I'd rather send them off down the road and let their new keepers decide what to do with them...but the person deciding wont...

Quote: Heather, ughhhhhhhhhh,........here I go....and I'm sorry.. I'm now going to have to go from compassionate to really upset on behalf of your defenseless birds. After that recent devastating loss, the remaining birds clearly were known to be not safe. They needed to be moved somewhere...

I lost 2 more overnight as well. 1 white rock/barred rock mix and one black cochin...my daughters baby. Once we get the pen completely buttoned up, i'll take my daughter to pick a new chick. Should all be done next week. I've taken many precautions and still....something gets to them. One more...
