We had a CRAZY day Sunday! We discovered that our baby chicks coop door(they are 10 weeks) had been left open! We found 3 dead hens, and 4 missing, along with 2 ducks! It was sad! We all searched the yard and woods. We found nothing! We have several fox and coyotes that are around our neighborhood. So we figured that is what got them. :(
The little boys were out in the woods about 6 hours later that day, and found a duck! They came running into the kitchen yelling " Mom! Mom! We found her!".They found the duck in our pasture. She was beaten up, dirty, dehydrated, hungry and had a broken wing :( We brought her back to the coop and gave her water and food. It has been 6 days, and she is doing great! A few hours later, that same day, Anna found a hen! Her tail feathers were torn off, but other than that, she was in good condition! We gave her water and food, and she is doing great also! We lost some, but we found some! So goes life in the country. This is a pic of when we first got them.
