I'm sorry....Okay, here goes. Last night I fogot to lock up the chicken coop with my 24 chickens in it and I had the big door open during the day because it was hot on there. So both the big door and their little chicken door was left open. Then this morning I woke up, went to school, blah blah blah. When I got home my dad was mowing the lawn and my sisters and I were walking down our drive way. Then he stops and tells me that there are some dead chickens and I ask how the died and how many. He answered that the dogs killed at least 6! So I ran into the house threw my bag in the entry way and stormed out to my chicken coop. 5 pullets and a rooster were dead. Their necks snapped and not even eaten of anything. So I counted the rest and only found 16. So I thought 16 plus 6 is not 24! I soon found out that our dog (who had puppies) had eaten a pullet. The other chicken is yet to be found. I am NOT happy with them!
It's okay. Hopefully they will start laying soon and one or two will go broody on me and give me some baby chicks!
