RIP Silkie

[MEGTHEGREER]

My favorite Silkie girl was mutilated by a hawk this weekend.... I can't tell you how many tears were shed to find her in the terrible condition I did. This was my first flock loss. RIP Silkie!

The first is always hard. I'm sorry for your loss. She was beautiful.

Sorry for your loss. We lost a leghorn to a hawk attack. All I could say is I am glad that the rest were okay. I am sure she was a great girl.

Also my first and I hope only loss

Also my first and I hope only loss

I am sorry to hear that as well! I am SO thankful the others were spared...they huddled under the coop and were definitely vulnerable to being killed. I hope she died quickly, she was my favorite and such a gentle sweetie. She loved cuddling in my hands!

Thank you very much. She had such a sweet demeanor every time I gave the bird call there she was...I had no idea I would grieve as much as I did, but the type of attack was also unexpected and harder to see for my first loss.

I'm sorry. I've lost quite a few from hawks recently. Last one I lost was my polish pullet

I'm so sorry, I too lost a really snuggly silkie... it thought I was its mummy and slept on my lap... a fox killed it and it's family.

I do so understand how sad it is, my condolences. I hope it is my silkie's friend in chicken heaven!

Oh noo!! I have a Polish silkie mix and that is the only other bird I would have been very sad to lose. I am terribly sorry for your losses. I have created a much better, covered run to prevent this from happening again. My poor 5 yr old daughter found her..the whole thing was a tough experience.

I'm so sorry that must have been super horrible for you.
