RIP to my Entire Flock.

I am so sorry for your losses!

So very sorry.

 

[Chicken.Lytle]

Very sorry about your loss.

When you are repairing your coop you may want to consider plumber strap instead of staples to secure your hardware cloth. You can see it in the last couple pictures here.

So sorry for you. Don't give up. Work on your pen adn when you feel it is secure try again. I feel your pain...year before last we lost over 30 birds throughout the summer to various predators....took a break for a year and built all new....now we are trying again this year. It is hard especially when you have had them from chicks

I think you will miss having the chickens terribly if you don't try again after a little while!!! HAng in there !!!

So sorry

Sorry for your loss! I was in your shoes back in the summer of 2010. I lost all 4 of my girls to a raccoon. It will sting for a little while but hopefully before too long, you'll have the opertunity to get some new chickies!

 

[speckledhen]

Oh, NO! This can be a lesson to other members who think because they live in the city that there are no predators. You are smack dab in the middle of a huge metropolitan area, Nick. I'm so, so sorry.

 

[MaryRuthLangdon]

Sorry to hear about your chicks... good luck repairing and rebuilding a new flock

Thank you all for your well-wishes. It really means a lot. I was at my next door neighbor's house today checking everywhere on her coop to make sure there's no where a pest could get in. I'm certainly not keeping this dumpy coop we have now, it's really not in good shape anyway.

Now that I'm re-starting on chickens I'm really going to attempt to pre-plan on exactly what I'm going to want instead of constantly adding on. As I said... Attempt!
