Hello friends,

I was at a family gathering an hours drive from home when I got the call from my husband. Our flock had been attacked by a pack of dogs. Feathers were scattered all around and birds were missing. Yes, Miracle was amoung the missing. I headed home right away. It was a long drive by myself with thoughts of how I was going to tell all of you that Miracle was gone.

When I got home my husband had found one dead guinea and another one badly injured. There was no sign of Miracle but no sign of Miracle's feathers either. It took a while to get a head count on the birds that were left because more kept showing up. Most of them had flown into the trees. I walked around the barn and there was Miracle standing there preening her feathers. What a relief. I'm very upset about the birds I lost and the one that is injured but thrilled that we didn't loose Miracle.

The dogs killed one chicken, one guinea, and the injured guinea will probably not make it through the night. (all hens) They will be back for more and I hope we are ready. One of them appeared to be a coyote so they could be mixes traveling and hunting together. Miracle will be staying in with the little chicks tomorrow.

Sadly,

Mena

Mena,
I am sooo sorry about your losses, but thank heavens Miracle is still here to tell her tales. You have made her such a special part of all of our lives now, and it would be such a sad day if something tragic were to befall her.
I hope you "get" those murauders.

Oh Mena, that is so sad. I am so sorry that happened and you have to go through something like that! How heart breaking.

I am so happy Miracle is OK!

Miracle likes to give us a major scare every now and then. I'm sure we get as "shaken up" as you do Mena. WE love Miracle. I am barely over the time he was missing at bed count and now this disaster. I'm so sorry for the ones you lost. They matter very much too even tho we don't know their names. Are Little Bit and Rascal okay ? I think Miracle is gonna have to start handing out tranquilizers - he is making us all a wreck. Thank goodness it wasn't a total disaster. My heart is still beating fast.

 

[OurLittleChickenFarm]

Thank you all so much! Little Bit and Rascal seem to be fine. Rascal laid around more this afternoon but he also did a lot of running so I think he is ok.

Mena, so sorry for your losses.

So happy that miracle is OK.

Do any of the roos have interest in Miracle????

Quote:
Rascal stays by Miracle's side and chases Little Bit away. I'm not sure how to interpret that trio. Is it mating or just pecking order? I have seen mating between Little Bit and Rascal though which is unusual. Guineas are so fast that if you blink your eye you will miss it. Even though I have not seen anything going on between Miracle and Rascal that doesn't mean it isn't happening.
