When sending daughter out to put up chickens, be specific.
Close and check all the doors to coop/run. DD said the girls were up, I let dogs out. Big mistake to not check. We're down 2 very sweet BR babes. Not a mark on them, but I'd guess the dogs shook them like toys and, well... Now we're left with one lonely, confused 5wk old and a devastated daughter. Hubby wasn't too thrilled about playing undertaker, as he stated "I was starting to get fond of the featherheads". so lesson learned (still sucks!
) Now someone tell me if I can put new fuzzies in with 5 wk old, or keep them separate until fuzzies are feathered. I'm not givin' the little baby up for adoption, so I guess I'd better get her some companionship pronto. Anyone need a home for some "excess" babies who are of similar age?
