Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I fear your answer but I need to know what if anything the police were able to achieve.

I will also suggest that this is somewhat gruesome and maybe a spoiler is in order so that an individual can make a conscious decision to read it. I don't know that I would have read this otherwise if given the choice.

Oh I am so sorry. I didn’t think about a spoiler.
I was just in reminiscing mode prompted by the horrible situation @featherhead007 is facing.
I should have been more thoughtful.
Should I take the post down? Anyone know how?
I don’t think the police found who did it. And in good news it didn’t happen again and we kept the traumatized kittens and I don’t remember ever having cats who weren’t well adjusted (well, for cats that is!).

I remember the police who came to the house said that they worry that people who do that kind of thing might do it to other animals including people.
I don’t know if they just said that to make my mother feel better because she was distraught.
It was me and my best friend from high school who came in and found them and we prevented my Dad from coming in and told him to go for a walk around the block. He was a sensitive soul my Dad and he could not have coped with the sight of it all. We then rang my mother and she said to call the local police station and she came home and arrived just before the police.
The mother cat had tried to save the kittens and had dragged a number of them in through the cat door in the kitchen window so the kitchen was covered in blood and dead or nearly dead kittens. I suspect my memory makes that scene worse than it was, but I do remember the blood and the terrified cat and dead kittens mainly outside.
Turns out she had managed to save a few of them - I don’t remember how many - but they had hidden themselves under the stove and only emerged once the police left and we had buried the dead ones and it was all quiet.
Sorry to go on. It was a traumatic teen experience and I was just reminiscing.
Poor Dad burst into tears when we told him what happened - we never let him see anything gruesome and he always maintained he didn’t like cats - but he wept anyway.

This really distresses me. I don't understand how someone could ignore an animal's distress & do something like that.

That is because you are a good person. Simple as that.

Pullets, yes. For the second youngest age group, Ester is not, Dorothy isn’t making shells and I’m not sure on Minnie’s status.

I have always associated comb color with laying. I see why you are concerned. Let me research this a little and see if I can dig something up.

Awful as it was, sometimes we need to share with our friends.

Making this public...
My apologies for two things Bob. One for stating my opinion on this matter above and a trebled for piling my problems on you a few weeks ago. I'm ashamed now but you really really helped me at that time, as well as @rjohns39 and @Grammy60 Just saying

I'm exactly the same. We may be on opposite sides of the world but it's so lovely knowing you in here same said for all in fluffy butts . That includes @RoyalChick even though I gave her a good pecking . Don't worry I'm going to give her a feather cut style soon to make up for it

Bowing out for tonight. I'm tired and need to pack things for a homeless charity for tomorrow's pick up. They are doing me a great service as I'm trying to declutter a little.

Have a good night everyone.
