Sending prayers and lots of hugs to you, Lori and Cassie and family.

You all remain in my prayers, as well. I wish I could do something to help ease even the tiniest bit of your pain. I just wanted you to know that we are all still thinking of you, crying with and for you and praying for you.

Yesterday when Cassie got home from school she went to do her chicken chores and found her best show bird (polish) dead in the pen. Don't know why. Now she's convinced all her birds are sick and will die, despite my assurances that Evie was probably 'roo-ed' and harrassed too much lately.

We had a 'birds are fragile' talk, plus a 'yes this has been a really sucky year' talk. And then decided to hatch her some new silkies, since we haven't been very pleased with polish in temperment. So I have a new incubator and am going to try and find her some SQ buffs, reds or partridge since those are her favorite colors. Hatching has always been a team effort for the 2 of us, so maybe it will make things feel a tad more normal as well as give us something to look forward to.

This hurting inside will never ever go away. It may ease, it has to if we're going to survive, but it will never ever be gone. I've worried about how Cassie is coping. Her counselor thinks she's still in shock and just not able to process it all yet. I worry about her intensely. In an effort to not smother her, I'm letting her spend the night with a friend's family tonight.

I have mutt eggs I would be more than happy to send to her for free. Just let me know! I can save the green ones - they come out super cute!

Thanks for offering Debi

I was in no way pleading for free eggs though. I just need to do something to keep encouraging Cassie.
We have 3 EE's, 2 that lay green eggs and one that lays a pale cream egg some call pink. Those gals lay more eggs than we can use!
But I want to get Cassie some SQ babes, of a breed she can love on and cuddle. And right now she's certain that means Silkies.

DH is not happy about chicks in the house all winter, but he didn't argue or fuss. Cassie and I have been in this chicken thing together since our first hatch, so he knows that while this won't heal us it will distract us.

I feel a bit guilty about Evie's death. I haven't been paying as much attention to my birds lately, or I'd have noticed that Evie was being harrassed and moved her. DH said something to me about it, but I didn't act on his observations. I'm just in a fog too much of the time. The laying hens have taken to climbing the stairs when they see me on the deck, in order to beg for treats. First time in 3 years they've ever climbed the stairs...

I just saw this, and I am so heartbroken for you and your family. How devastating; I am praying for God to comfort you and your family.

I am so sorry Lori. I know this has got to be just horrible. I pray that over time you and your dh and Cassie will find a "new normal" life. You are right when you say things will never be the same, but it will get easier to bare. I continue to lift you and your family up in Prayer. Ask Cassie if she would be interested in some Serama eggs along with those silkie eggs you are looking for. I would be more than happy to send her and you some
