We not only have a responsibility to feed and protect our flocks, but to keep their best interest in mind. It's just my personal opinion.

I'm certainly not perfect but do my best. My hen, Little Red, that was attacked by a coyote looked way worse than any of the pictures on this post. She has provided me with eggs that I have consumed and shared with others. I felt it was my responsibility to give her a chance. Giving her a chance meant giving her a quiet safe environment to recover along with antibiotics, meds for pain, taking the time to keep her wounds clean and a little rehab to boot! SHe's now back with her flock mates....even that took time, which was given to her on her own accord. We all mean well....it was just a surprise that "Cookie" was exterminated without fighting the fight for her. There are going to be ruffles feathers....it is what it is.....that's all

Remember this is a non judgmental forum. Y'all need to be careful what you say or this thread will be locked.

Sorry I sounded so mean but I was just a little upset that they didn't give her a chance to try. You are right it is their bird and it was their choice. If that is what was more convienient for them then..... Presonally I would have given her a little more time. But like you stated she was not my bird.. Sorry about the "ruffled feathers".

i had a duck that got attacked. tried to save it but it died after 3 days. Its a hard call to try to save or cull. hope you catch that fox and dispatch it before it gets more of your chickens
