Sorry Wild... I am sure we all know how you feel.

Sounds like he has had a wonderful life.. sometimes it is hard for us to let go, even though we know we are doing the right thing. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm so depressed!

my golden retriever shadow(he is my avatar) of 12 years, is going to heaven on thursday!

He has been my best friend since I was 10. He is the best dog, he let hamsters, ferrets, lizards, cats and chicks play on him. He helped raise countless foster puppies and kittens. He was my therapy and seizure alert dog. He stood strong to help my mom up when she fell. He hualed firewood, and kept us warm on camping trips. He rescued us when we would “drown”(we called it swimming) in the lake. He protected us from everything. He loved to lay in the yard for hours with a stick. He'd swim in the lake for hours. He always has to be near one of us! He helped me raise my 1st group of chicks and is part of the flock. He'd leap into the baby pool, and play with the ducks, or well…he'd splash around and the ducks would use him as a log.
Its been a really hard decision, to let him go, and I'm having a very hard time imaging my life without him.

I'm so sorry! It's very hard to lose a friend, whether they look like us or have fur or feathers. Making that decision for your friend is hard, too, but I'm glad you thought of him rather than yourself.

Okay, one order of chicks ships 11/7 and the other 11/19. That'll work out nicely for me as far as brooding setup goes. Yay! Chicks!

Hey everyone, little made it through the night but didnt look good this morning. I haven't made it home yet from work and I'm not very optimistic. Hope she surprises me and us mad at being stuck in a crate inside when I get home! Thanks for all of the advice and good vibes!

I added another section to my little coop. It just slides into the other. I built a wire door to separate the two sections. I replaced the two "BOYS" for hen and these little girls are still much smaller than the others. I hope by looking at each other and not being able to peck at each other for awhile will help when I try to mix all of them. The Wire door will come off, giving all of them an additional 16 square feet of space.







Here are the two new "GIRLS." What do you guys think? I believe they were hatched in late August.



I plan to add trimmer pieces and stain to match main coop. I hope to have eggs by middle November from the first three. They hatched on July 18.
