Today my chicken shed caught fire and wiped out half my flock. It went up like a tinder box and was horrifying. I thought they were all dead for sure but then found one alive under the porch, then two more, then another later in the day. Somehow the meanest rooster and a few others survived. I’m monitoring them inside my place in a pen. It’s absolutely gut wrenching. I don’t have a shelter for them so they will be inside until I can figure something out. Please say a prayer for me and the flock. My heart hurts 💔💔💔💔
 
It was very likely the heat lamps and the wind here was absolutely wild. Please don’t tell me about heat lamps though, I learned my lesson and the guilt is overwhelming. The four survivors are inside my place in a pen, a neighbor is rehoming them to a wonderful home today. I’m still having nebulizer treatments and oxygen. I still have my silkie coup and switched over to a coup safe heat panel. Thank you for the support 🙏🏻 it’s healing to know others understand the loss.
