Largest mass shooting in US history. At least 18 children are included in the 26 dead plus one entire classroom is still missing according to MSN news.
Second largest shooting in U.S. history behind the Virginia Tech shootings. A 20-something guy went in and killed a bunch of children and adults at an elementary school!
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.
Just had to tell someone and knew you all would understand ......
Oh, RedBrushFarm, I am SO sorry!!! That's just awful and I can easily imagine how bad you must feel! But it was an accident and I'm sure even Prissy knows that. Sometimes awful things just happen and we simply have to live with them. Doesn't help, I know -- but I know how much you love your chickens

x2! I feel awful for you! Just remember, it WAS an accident. Of course it feels bad to know that they died, so it is normal to feel bad. Just as you would feel bad to go outside and find that a fox had gotten them. It feels awful. But, don't blame yourself for that feeling. It was an accident.
It breaks my heart to think of all the children that died. I cannot imagine losing any child, and especially so close to Christmas.
School should be the safest place on earth for a child, but it is no longer. We have a small church school (15 students) and this makes me even more thankful for that opportunity.
