Got it! That makes sense. I just didn't want to be posting so much and getting obnoxious to the whole thread. I told my daughter I was talking to someone in Australia about chickens and she is all set to plan a trip!

Thanks so much. Yes, we have been on the watch for the hawk. It came back the same day it killed Cinnamon but haven't seen it since. The girls were getting to free roam for most of the days weather permitting so they are not happy about having to stay in the pen so much. What kind of chickens do you have?

So doing it this way just replies back to you? I'm assuming do it the other way post to the public thread?

Hello everybody! My name is Cheryl and I have finally joined the BYC community. I got 5 Golden Comets and a little coop for Mother's Day this year (total surprise from my kids) and that's how I got introduced to the world of chickens. I've been checking out this site for months, learning so much. Every time I had a question and searched it, BYC would come up with the answers. So much great information and encouragement on here. So, I've had 5 chickens since May, and just lost one to a hawk on the December 23rd. Never knew I would cry so much over losing a chicken :-( But seeing the sadness, my children snuck off and got two new chickens, a barred rock and black sexlink. It's started a brand new phase to my chicken adventure. Of course I had no idea about introducing new chickens to the group so I'm sure I did every thing wrong that I could. Turns out the barred rock seems to be sick so I have since quarantined her to try to figure it out. The farmer that she came from said to bring her back and he would switch her out, but I just don't have the heart. I'm afraid he might just kill her. I've put a stream on her asking for any advise so we will just see how it works out. I have two teenage daughters and one has a boyfriend who is part of the family. He built the original coop and they were the start of this new obsession. During the normal day, I am an assistant teacher in 5th grade. My kids love to hear about my chickens and think it's funny when I bring in cartoons of eggs. Thanks for all the kindness and encouragement and advise on this site.
