All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

[WhoDatChick]

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the Princess of
some fluffy derrières....


I got my first chicks in March of 2018.... 8 little pullets.. Ruby-RIR... Rosemary-Australorp... Maryn-Australorp.. Kelly-EE... Sunny-BO... Claire-Barnevelder... Kathryn-GLW (have since rehomed her) and Nilky-Silkie (also rehomed)

In March of 2019 I got three new babies... Lilly-LB (she just passed away last week) Mak-CM... and Goosie-SS
In April I got three Cochin bantams.. Cutie, Lil Red, and Petunia that I gave Nilky to raise but they have also been rehomed..
In May of 2019 I got three more babies.... Magnolia (Maggie), Daffodil (Daffy), and Poppy... all EEs

In May of 2020 I got TRUMP-NN (rehomed him yesterday)... Claudine and Clementine-EEs

In August I got The Brady Bunch... Marcia, Jan, and Cindy- OEs

In March of this year.. 2021... I got Daisy-WL... Minnie-BL... Betty and Wilma-EEs

I guess I didn’t really tell how I became a Princess of my chickens but that was just me being funny!
Starting this new thread because my old one was all about TRUMP... well, mostly.. and since he is no longer here I thought I should start a new one.
All are welcome to share in the fun! Plenty of pics to come....

I just wanted to let yall know that a dog got in my chicken yard and killed 12 of my chickens.. 5 are injured and 7 seem okay besides shock. I am devastated and heartbroken.. I can’t even handle this Cindy looks like she is about to die and Cake will have to be culled
The image of them laying everywhere will haunt me.
I feel like I failed them. This is horrific.. I can’t breathe

 

[WhoDatChick]

Oh no. Not Claudine.
The whole thing is just devastating.

It truly is and I would not wish this on anyone…. The first thing everyone kept asking me was if I killed the dog… gorgeous husky. But I could not.. besides by the time I got there he was done and too exhausted to do anymore damage. Now if I had a gun and he was in the act of doing it I would have easily killed him.. but to look at his stupid face and know that he was just being a stupid dog I couldn’t. My husband came to kill him but instead we sent him the the pound. Now if he gets put down there, oh well. The owners have two and they both keep getting loose and they got a complaint on Friday and the pound came out and they told the pound to take the dogs because it’s their nephews dogs and they cannot keep them contained but the pound will not take owner surrenders so here we are! They were apologetic and said they would replace my flock no thanks! We think the dog scaled my six wooden fence cuz there is no other evidence of where he could have gotten in.
I have heard the horrific stories and never thought it would happen to me I have done everything in my power to keep them safe a happy and then something like this happens
I just keep imagining them running for their lives scared to death and I wasn’t there to help them. I swear I can’t handle this. I am so heartbroken.
