She roasted the chicks! IM SO ANGRY

[Lil_Miss_Farmer_Chick]

I'm so sorry to you lost your babies, it is so heartbreaking. I have blue silkies coming tomorrow, if you lived close enough, I would give them all to you.

Thanks everyone..
To the people who wondered WHY they were in her room, yes, she and my 11 year old sisters had a few blue silkies and polish they begged me to buy last time we were at the feedstore. So yes, they had biddies in there.
ALSO...ALL 50 OF THE STANDARDS AND BANTAMS AND THE GOSLING MY SISTER (the 11 year old insisted upon) have all been in my room for a week. With a red bulb, which isnt as bright as a white (thank goodness). They didnt care the birds had all been in my room (this included their birds), or that I slept with what sounded like a cheeping storm five feet from my bed. Because my door would close and they were pretty much left in peace. My sisters sleep in like a large loft area. the brooder when they decided to reinstate it was about 15 feet from her bed. All she had to do was roll over to ignore the light (trust me, I am champion of this).
Her excuse now is she was sleep walking...at 7 in the morning. She doesnt sleep walk. I think she should have had to remove the dead birds one by one by hand to give her a "hands on" idea of what happened. You dont look at a dead baby and not have it strike a chord.

Your sister was being a jerk. Your parent's handled it VERY badly.

Good news...you are almost done with school and can move out soon

This is how I would approach it. Explain to your sisters that they need to explain to your parents why it was not an accident and that you told them directly not to do it. Why would they do this, you ask? If they are in a poultry project as well, I am sure whoever is leading this/grading them would be most interested in this story. Also, show your parents the bill for the birds as well as your sisters, and maybe explain how if your sisters want your help again, they better start forking over their allowance

Maybe ask the parents to read this thread.

I'm so sorry..

I am very disappointed with your sister's behavior. There should be some consequence for her behavior. I believe it is best for children to experience the results of their choices, both good and bad. She needs to cultivate empathy and accept responsiblity - which is your parents job.

My heart breaks for you. Please remember, if you are able to learn and grow as a person from your trials then you will be stronger for it. As for your heartbreak, I have been there! I survived not going to the prom. I was the one helping my girl friends get ready for the big night. At the time I was so depressed. In the end, if you choose to stay home rather than go alone, you will get passed it. Hang in there. The right young man will come around at the right time. Here's my moto: You want Mr. Right, not Mr. Right Now. Wait, you're worth it!

Oh that is horrible, she is a kid but not too little to understand what she was doing.

Do you have an incubator or can you get one? I can send you some lav silkie eggs (far nicer than hatchery quality) and some from my other breeds as well if you would like to try for some new chicks.

pm me if interested.

Iam so sorry about your lost of your babies.

I am so sorry for your loss. If it was my 11 yo dd (I have 4 girls), I would make her bury the chicks, pay for them, and apologize (my kids would have anyway). Even if WAS an accident (which I wouldn't call it)- its being accountable for your actions and that is how we learn from our mistakes..

That being said, that is how I parent, and obviously we are all different and none of us are perfect. I know you are really angry at this moment, and imo you have every right to be. Just try to work through it, because in the end, your family is one of the most important gifts you will ever have. Learn from this and when you have your own kids you will make better choices for them- I think all parents hope their kids will be become better people than themselves!

We homeschool also, and we have a homeschool prom. You might check around to see if there is one (or something similar) close to where you live.

I don't have the colors/breeds you like- but I could send you some bbs silkie eggs if you'd like- just pm me.

Again, I am sorry!!
