I am so sorry for your devastating loss! Know you will miss her terribly!Maleficent is Gone
Today was supposed to be a great day. It will go down as one of the worst in my life.
I have been traveling all week and have spent no time with the girls. It was going to warm up a little tosay and I had blocked my calendar for some late afternoon quality free range with them. I was excited.
I woke up this morning violently sick. There would be no quality time with the girls. I went from the bathroom to the bed all day.
My wife had to work today so I was home alone. She came home after dark and woke me up to check on me. I quickly checked the coop cam and Maleficent was not roosted.

So asked my wife to find her and put her in the coop. She found her on the ground dead.
I just checked her body. Her neck was torn apart. Weasel or raccoon I am thinking. I have seen raccoons around here and have never seen a weasel.
Either way there will be coop upgrades tomorrow even if I crap myself while I'm doing it.
Quite frankly I am devastated. I could not be there for her. If I had not been sick she would have been fine. I would have checked everything at dusk in person just to spend time with them.
We were so close. I can't stop crying. I just can't right now. What a crappy day. I have to try and bury her in frozen ground tomorrow. How am I going to do that?
I'm just heartbroken.
Rest in Peace my besty
