Kalypso Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My dd16 heard something and went outside to check on them. Coyotes had dug under the coop and taken 2. There was one little hen left. I dread having to tell dd4 because these chickens were pets, and she just loves them. I'm not sure what to do with the hen. She is in a box inside right now. The last thing I want now is more chickens, but the hen is going to need a friend. I knew when dh brought the chicks home that it was very likely that this would happen. I just didn't realize how attached we would get to the darn things:crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunrose Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Oh no :( I don't know what I would do if something got to one of our girls. It would be devastating and I would NOT want to tell my dd. (((hugs))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) This is why my chicken house is empty. I'm tired of the whole predator thing. You wouldn't believe how many times either the boys with their guns or I with the dog have dispatched coons or possums. No more. And yes, you do get attached. The last time I went out there and found 17 missing/dead I was so frustrated I went in the house and bawled. Not to mention the time and effort to raise them from flufflings.
