Hey guys,
I don’t know if this is appropriate for the forum, but please bear with me.
I need to vent.
Some of you may have seen my most recent thread, but for those who haven’t, my flock of 13 has been reduced to six chickens by a raccoon. Repairs have been done and fortification is complete, but I’m still pretty sad. I had to put down two of them myself today. The rest were dead. Only six are left.
It just makes me so sad seeing that the chickens were in pain. It makes me so sad to see that they’re in shock. It also makes me sad that I could’ve made the run better with hardware cloth instead of chicken wire, but I didn’t. That’s a mistake on my part, and this is the consequence.
I’m also sad that I had to put down two myself. I know they’re in a lot of pain, and I know they’re in a better place now, but I still feel sad.
I mean, I raised these girls from chicks. Seeing them grow up and then seeing them die, especially when I have to put two down myself really takes a toll on me emotionally.
One thing you need to know about me is that I have ADHD and depression issues. For me, writing about how I feel really helps me out.
So, to sum it up, I am sad.
Anyway, I just needed to vent. Thank you for listening and reading. You can respond if you want.

) I just meant I knew you would have been humane and efficient. 
How's your supply of maple syrup holding up? Will you make more this spring?
