My favorite br chick penny is dead! I woke up from a dream that my moms dog killed her and I looked out side and the run was blown over. We usually close the coop but I came home late last night and my mom closed up the chickens and she said they would be fine. Penny the 10 week ol br chick was laying there outside the pen with a broken wing and a bare spot on her behind. When I went out my dogs were in there dog houses and came running and barking because they did not see me. I was pretty mad at them, but now that I think about it, I do not think it was them. She was still pretty flexable and I don't think it had happened too long before I went out. But the 6 week old chicks were all missing. There were 3 of them., No feathers, nothing. And the hens were in the top coop just sleeping. I do not see any blue feathers anywhere, just the br ones. So I do not know what happened to the chicks. We looked in the yard and did not see anything. It was still dark so we used flash lights. I knew something like this could happen, but I was really attached to this chick., She followed me around the yard and would jump up in my lap. I just wish it would have been any other bird but my penny.
My dh found one of the blue EE chicks. Well the dog found it, allready dead. So we know at least one is dead. I assume the other two are as well.
