Shocking reading.

I'm glad things appear to be being taken seriously by the school/police, I just hope it isn't just "lip service", and things fizzle out as they do in so many cases like this. I fear that any punishment is unlikely to fit the crime though.

 

My thoughts are with you both,

I am glad to hear that the police and school are treating this seriously Matthew. I know that it doesn't help with your shock and grief though.

 

Please don't delay getting some new chooks to be companions for the lonely girl. I have a spare eglu at the moment if you want to borrow it for introductions.

So sorry to hear this. I'm glad the headmistress is being supportive. It's important to stand up to these yobs and she quite clearly isn't frightened by him.

 

I hope you and OH are getting over the shock. Please be assured that not all teenagers are mindless thugs, they are a tiny minority. Much love and hugs to you both.

Having just lost my first girlie, through natural causes, I am sat reading your ordeal with tears running down my face. :cry:

 

I am SO very sorry to hear about such a dispicable act, and what a truly horrific experience for you both and your chooks. :shock::cry:

 

I am glad to read the updates and hope that the :evil: B...... that did this gets their comeuppance and takes a long serious look at themselves.

 

I hope you get some positive action, it sounds like the other kids, the school and the police are helping which I am really pleased to read.

 

Good luck with getting some more girls and I hope you both have a much happier experience with your chooks from now on.

 

 

xx

what a sick individual, hope he gets what he deserves.

 

Ask your local crime prevention officer to survey your property and tell you what security precautions you need, get him/her to put it in writing, then get approx costs and present it to the headmistress. It's good that they are offering to pay up although it should be this yob's parents who should be accountable! It's really good though that they are taking a stand, hope the RSPCA prosecute to the full extent of their capabilities!

 

Be strong (we're all here if you need to talk) and see this through for the sake of your own peace of mind and the memory of your little Momo, so sorry this has happened to you xxx

I have only just caught up with this thread and am so sorry to hear your awful ordeal. The worrying thing is that children who act this way towards animals often become sadistic adults. I really hope that something is being done about this boy. It sounds as though he is already "in the system."

 

In court recently there was an eleven year old prosecuted for killing a duck. He hit it with a stick to see whether it would stand up! The police did get involved with it and he is receiving some help. Maybe the same could happen with this youth!

Well..

 

We are now the proud owners of two more chickens...

 

... they are already living together in our eglu with an extended run

 

...Thank you so much Clare for the use of the eglu.... made the whole thing much less stressful and am sure our confidence meant the whole introduction went smoothly.

 

A few ruffled feathers and alonso puffing her chest out but the pecking order has been established and all are eating if not at the same time lol...

 

And we have now completed the song Kate and I were singing in Athens in 2007 just before we got the first pair by naming the new ones Stevi and Masch...

 

"We got the greatest chickens (midfield) in the world

We got Xabi Alonso (had) momo sissoko, Stevie and Mascheran-no-oh-o

(We got Xabi alonso, momo sissoko, Gerrard and Mascheran-no-oh-o)

 

I'll be back with pics as soon as
