came home to find.little lifeless Silkie bodies scattered all over their pens......... The water buckets empty. ......i just filled them up that night and they always have lasted till the next evening. I normally check them but had to go close on my old house so i was gone most the day. All those years of breeding.....of joy and love....... Gone. I can only think that some of them started standing in their water and their feathers absorb a lot of their water.... I just don't know. I've had some of these birds for six years or so..... I still have a few......nd my bantams beside them were fine...just the Silkies..... I just don't know. I really just don't feel like doing this anymore.......
