This is about the only place that I will get the sympathy that I need. I'm heart broken. The other night, I came home to put my little flock in the pen for the night. When I know I won't be back before nightfall, I put them in a little fenced yard with an electric fence on. The 2 drakes were standing together, and Lucky, my girl was in the little pond. Golden was nowhere. I looked around and found her. She had stuck her head through the fence and must have gotten stuck on the electric fence somehow. If anyone remembers, about 6 months ago, a friend asked for some eggs for his daughter to hatch. Just before the hatch date, my friend had a stroke/heart attack. His daughters were able to keep it together because a week later, all the eggs hatched. This hen was one of those ducks, so she meant a little more to me. I will never tell my friend's wife (my friend is still struggling with life), but no one else can imagine how I feel. ...and now I have to adopt out Golden's brother, because now I have 2 drakes and 1 hen. So really I'm losing both of them.
