HEART BROKEN - HUGS NEEDED I have had 2 silkie hens (missy and prissy) for so long I can't remember how old they are. The roo I bought then - Flapper - is still with me also. They were not "top" quality but I have never been able to let them go.... Well, I just let the three of them and a black with a bad foot (my husband somehow managed to shut her up in the door) run willynilly around in the barn. A couple weeks ago I found Prissy sitting on 5 eggs. So, I let her (should have known better but she was in a nest box) This morning I open the barn door, step in and she is under my feet! THEN I HEAR THE SQUAWKING!! All 5 had hatched and she had brought them to the door where she is accustomed to meeting ME. I HAD STEPPED ON THEM

all 5 had hatched and were beautiful. I brought them to the house and put them under a heat lamp. 2 were dead and three barley moving. The three are now on their feet but shivering. I am praying they make it. I feel like a MURDERER. I cried like a baby. Prissy is beside herself and looking all over the barn. I may bring her in and put her with the babies.

x1,000,000,000,000 I would bring Prissy in. It would probably help her relax and help the chicks to recover.

I am SO SORRY! Oh how you must feel. It's an accident though. You didn't know.

I agree with the others, maybe Prissy's presence will help everyone.

Thanks everyone. She is in the house with her babies. They all seemed pretty strong before I left for work. She was still clucking, but the chicks were under her. I left the heat lamp on and food/water. The three that are left are light gray like their dad. The two black would have looked like mom.
Still sad but makes me feel better that you guys think it was an accident and I am not just a reckless chick killer.

 

[crfarm]

of course your NOT! it happens and it IS an accident.

praying your little ones make it and I am sure they feel much better now that momma is with them.

Any of you swappers have any Araucana (Tufted Kind) or Ameraucana that you ever swap?

I have an ideal for a project using preferable the Ameraucana.
