Got home tonight from hospital - not sick, I'm in clinicals - to find last two ducks GONE!! Someone opened pen and took them!!! I know it was a human because pen gate has a latch at top and hay string tying it together at bottom. Latch was undone and string was lying on ground. I am SO NOT HAPPY! Waiting on sheriff as we speak.... This is ridiculous! :-/
 
TruBlu--Pathetic, isn't it? Ridiculous that people would steal chickens. You have options -- locks, cameras and surveillance, or electric fencing. OR ALL THREE!!! Man, you've been double hit with the losses first and now the stolen ones. Prayers for you!

PrimRose - hope your mom is on the mend quickly and so is jazzmine. --How were those d'uccle eggs from me coming along?

Nola - Love new crows! Each are unique.

I got home yesterday and had to take care of my daughter who is having some reactions to new meds. We then checked the last of the eggs in the incubator and the newest chicks in the brooder. After about 45 minutes or so the rain eased up so we went out to feed everyone. She started feeding and I started checking to see who needed water. I opened a run and heard my 8 year old say, "Mom, I think I'm locked in." I looked around--saw nothing. I walked around the coop where I was and the little toot had shut himself into the newest coop that my husband had just finished. He had made solid doors instead of wire, so poor baby couldn't unlatch the door from the inside. He'd been out there in the rain since we got home and I thought he'd been in his room!!!! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry so I did both.

Bet he won't shut himself in that run again.

No work for me today. Taking daughter back to the dr for her thoughts on the reaction to the meds. Hoping for a good report and I can get home.

We have decided to sell the following if anyone is interested:

4 light sussex chicks straight run around 4 weeks old
trio of buttercups
ALL of the silver penciled rocks - I need to get a count today of how many and see if I can tell the genders. These are Horstman show lines.
pair of buff orps - cockerel has the single barring gene to lemon cuckoo--they have been offered to grambysfarm, but if gramby chooses not to take them they are for sale
1 gold laced wyandotte cockerel - won BB at last show and has proven fertility

That's really terrible! Yet another reason why I don't let people I don't know and trust come to my property. Stuff like this just makes me sick!

That is just pathetic. If your budget allows, you may want to invest in a camera recording system. They are not expensive at all. You can't stop people from coming on your property but you can record then they arrive. :D

I have pad locks on my fence. You need a key to unlock it and to open the gate to get in.

Please keep us posted.
 
chickenbelle, that story is sooooo funny. :lau
