My poor chickens :'(

[theCoolAimee]

I had 11 chickens, 3 nearly grown chicks, and 1 little baby. My Dad said we had to move and until we got the coop built at the new place my chickens had to stay at the old house. Being that I'm just a teenager, there was no convincing him to bring them. I'd go back and fourth to check on my babies everyday.... but last night when I could finally bring them home, I couldn't find many of them. I only found my roo, Papa, dead. He was my baby, I bought him as a baby, his legs were broken, but he always got around fine. All but 6 chickens are gone, feathers everywhere.

I wish Dad had listened to me. He doesn't understand why I care so much and he makes fun of me for it, but they truly are like my babies. Especially my Papa roo.

Oh no! I am so sorry. That's terrible.

Will your Dad let you bring the survivors to your new place now?

 

[theCoolAimee]

Yes. They are here now in their new coop. Thank goodness.

I'm so sorry.

Very frustrating and sad for you.

That is so sad. It must be so devastating and I'm glad you had some survivors. Try try again. My dh also doesn't understand why I would want such strange looking, weird creatures. I told him thats my type and he'd best check the mirror.

Thanks everyone. At least I have an entire forum full of people who understand what do you think it was that got so many of them?

Sorry about your loss, it could have been dog, a raccoon a minks it hard to know without knowing if they where in the run/coop or free ranging.
