Yesterday was a hard day. After 3 years of having chickens we lost our first one to a predator. π
I know you're not supposed to play favorites, but this girl was special. She loved her people & came running when she thought you might have something to share with her. She was also part of the first brooders we got.
We have lost a couple others over the years to heat, but this just felt more traumatic. Maybe because of how we found her. Pretty sure a raccoon got her. Those who know, know.
I know this is part of owning any type of livestock. There is always a risk. It doesn't make it easier.
Dahlia, you will be missed. π€
