abwsco Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Went to lock the girls in their run this afternoon and found Mindy dead in the garden underneath the apple tree She's the 4th of our ex batts who has died. Poor love had looked "old" over the past few days but was still feisty enough to grab at the chickens over twice her size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitandNutCake Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just think how lucky she was to have enjoyed freedom! It is sad though - I have lost two of mine already, and with Annabelle being the strongest of the four it came as a bit of a shock. I was really upset because they had only just started to look like healthy, happy chickens with feathers - you just wish they could hold out longer.
