I lost a Scovy today... & it was horrible :'(

[Bleenie]

When i went to the pen today & put the ducks away & kicked the geese out I took a head count and noticed there was 1 hen missing. I quickly realized it was my baby girl Zuri, my super sweet, friendly little girl..

She wouldnt come in the night before so we immediately started looking for her. As i rounded the corner to go in the field I saw her laying by the gate, not moving...then i saw the blood, all over her back. I screamed and ran towards her & went to pick her up right away and froze about half way to her & just started crying. I couldnt even touch her, i was too scared to hurt her anymore than she already was.

I dont know what got her but it ripped her whole back off, all i saw was blood & insides. I freaked, she was one of my favorite girls, I honestly dont know how she even got away, i dont know how she was still alive.

I had to have my brothers come cull and bury her for me. I couldnt even look at her.

There has been way too many ups & downs with my Scovies lately and I am seriously considering getting rid of all the other birds so that I can just focus on them and their needs.

I am still so upset over it, it was probably the worst thing i have ever seen. I just want my baby back.

Sorry for your lose. Unfortunately, we lose one now and then. And it is horrible and it does not get any easier.

Soooo Sorry, Bleenie.

Seems it's been a rough few months with your Scovies. Life gets that way sometimes but, THANKFULLY, doesn't stay that way. Hang in there and do what you need to. Take care and I will be

for you.
