We lost one of our girls......

Look at her....laying in the driveway...blood and feathers all over *sob*. I know it's just a chicken....but I am still soo incredibly sad. She is the only one that had a name...Dipstick. I know...silly name, huh? But she was so silly. She would fly the coop and at night..she wouldn't go in the coop...she wanted to sleep at the top of a small wooden post...it was crazy! Poor girl...I am bummed.
She is still laying in the driveway. I can't bear to move her. Chris will have to do it when he gets home. I think our cat, Jack...who used to be an inside cat till he couldn't seem to control his bladder..(YUCK)...he is now an outside cat...;o) well...I assume he is the one that got her. Looks like she put up quite a fight. I am bummed. (i know, i keep saying that...but i really am!) Just wanted to share.

    ::hugs:: I'm sorry about your little chicken! I always thought would be the hardest part of farm life for me to deal with, losing animals.

    Oh no, Katy.... I hate when that happens! :(
    We lost one of our girls just last week... one minute she was there, and then she was gone and all I found was a little pile of feathers... we think it was a fox. I'm so sorry- I know how you feel!
    ((((BIG hug))))

    I am so sorry Katy. It doesn't matter that it she was a chicken. I cried when I lost my rooster, Joseph. I am so sad for you and Dipstick. (I think its a cute name!)

    Warm hugs,
    Lea

    I just revisited the picture of you poor dead chicken. It does suck. Are you getting any more this year?
    I am only down to 8 so I'm definitely getting more.
    My favorite one won't get off her nest. I'm hoping she is just brooding, but I'm worried about her. I hope she does not die too.
    The good thing about it, is I can pick her up and pet her ;)
