I'm sorry for the loss of your chickens. It's a tough lesson, but one that will stay with you. I forgot ONE night to lock up my four original girls; a mink killed three. I was devastated and felt so guilty.

I am now extremely careful about checking all the doors and latches on all the coops every night.

Perhaps your second girl will come back. The lone survivor of the mink attack flew to the highest roost in the coop, and I interrupted the killer. The hen was spooked for quite a while, but is still with me more than five years later.

In any case, if you love or loved those girls, you can provide a great home for others. Let us know how this unfolds. And, know that almost everyone who has chickens has made a mistake that cost them dearly. It's possible to move on, and do better in the future.

Take care.

Thank you so much for your kind and wise words! Also for sharing your experience. I guess it’s worse when there is guilt of doing something that played a part in it. I will keep everyone one posted. I did love them both so much! 😞
