Came home from work today to find that all but two of my silkies were dead. I have cried all afternoon long.
I don't know if I can handle this. I love my chickens so much and I just don't think I can go thru this again with new ones. I have eggs on the way and now I don't know if I even want to hatch.
I came home to find them shredded in the coop. The door was shut and the fence intact. They were in the house. Found out after I had a meltdown out in the snow (while picking up chicken pieces) that the door was not shut until after the husband came home but before I did. He didn't even say he was sorry even though he said he went in the coop this morning looking for fresh eggs for a friend. THEY AREN'T EVEN LAYING!!!!!!!!!
So do I hatch the eggs and toss the husband? I am not really serious about chucking him but I am so mad!!!!! These were the chickens I hand picked...sold the others that didn't meet standards....all but two gone...
Life sucks!!!!
