Buff Dewlap Toulouse Thread

Pics
She does now.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We left, ironically, to run and get 36" hen wire to put along any fence a goose could fit its head through. Came back, 27 minutes later, and captured these two blood covered dogs in my pens. They killed 1/2 of my turkeys, 2 toulouse, 1 sebastopol, 7 ancona, eveyr single khaki campbell I own (even the egg layers), 2 muscovey hens (unless they flew- they are mia), and my last chicken that was in an outdoor pen. They were able to get into 3 different pens when they torn though a corner and breached the layer pen first. They went over thier fence, and got the turkeys that couldn't fly, then were with the geese when we pulled up. I beat them to a corner with a fence post, and called the cops. We've got it down as over $1000 worth of birds, and it's a felony. They are in police custody at Emporia KS now. Due to the vicious nature of the crime, and the fact that they dark one attempted to attack one officer 2 times, they are considered vicious and will be put down.

I have 2 ducks (ancona) and 1 buff in the barn with baby girl trying to keep them alive tonight. The buff is bruised and terrified, the ducks are badly injured. I've washed and tried the worst duck, and its actually in the bathroom wrapped in rags, docterd for its physical injuries, which may be too severe to survice. I'm going to go drink my last two bottles of wine now.
 
OMG, how terrible this is. I am so sorry :(

I don't know if this will help, but I have Pilgrims and I would be willing to send you some eggs in the spring when they start laying. I've never shipped live goslings before, but I can find out how, etc., if you would be prefer to receive babies over eggs. I have 3 females, so I am expecting eggs galore. No charge :)

Again, I am so very sorry to hear about this...I can only imagine how you are feeling.

oh Marty so so sorry. The Scovy girls had their wings trimmed I am afraid before we shipped them.

Celtic -

I listed you as the provider of these birds, and also the sebastopol. If you could provide me a PM, or send something to my email, giving me the offical "replacement costs" of those birds, plus what the replacement costs for a female grey dewlap toulouse(lady), and a male buff dewlap, plus 7 Anconas, I can use that for the police to have a realistic replacement cost (include shipping in this) for these birds. The estimate was over $1000, when I include the Kahkis at $30 each for grown laying females. I'll have to get turkey replacment costs from somebody else.

I may even have a fax (or email) by tomarrow that those could be sent to other, than me, to make it more offical.

Yes. Absolutely horrible. I was crying and shaking with rage when I talked to the police less than 10 minutes after I got home. Julia just set on a feeder and cried. Ruth and Bruce worked like crazy to get the living goose and the two living ducks from the pond. They washed them while I answered queestions, then I doctered them, calmed them, and checked them over. Had to apply major first aid to one poor ancona, hope he lives.

I know now why baby girl was down in the pond, don't I.
