soapdragon Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Don't beat yourself up.....none of us are perfect and we all have masses to do and so are bound to make the odd mistake. Do, do hope that all is well with your girls. tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've shut the bedroom door when I've cleaned them out and forgot to open it. I've came out in the morning to find them in the run. luclely it wasn't frosty. Mine FR most days and when I went out last week to let them out one came running up to me in the garden! I always do a head count at night to make sure they are all away safe, I must have counted one twice. I haven't a clue where she spent the night.

Valkyrie Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Once I forgot to close the lid on the cube and it was just a hand's width open after I cleaned it. Must have got sidetracked. We all do things because we are multi taskers and sometimes when there is just so much to multi task we already moved on to the next thing without completing the last thing!

Janepie33 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Sadly not ok. Lost all 4 girls. We have so many foxes nearby. They must have thought it was Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Oh no Jane that's awful. I think lots of us have done things like that, just sometimes we get away with it. You must be feeling terrible, but get back on the horse - you'll never do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Oh I'm so sorry Don't beat yourself up- mistakes are easily made. Sending hugs to you and hope you will feel able to start again sometime soon. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That is very sad Janepie33. I'm sorry it happened to you and your girls. We all make mistakes and we can all learn from them. I once left the egg port door open all night but was very lucky. Even now I'm paranoid about that door. Sending hugs xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixieDust Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have been feeling very cross with myself too. Last night I left the pop hole open on the coop and left the food and water in the run. I was late out to them this morning and had the shock of my life to see them wandering around the run. Luckily the WIR was locked so nothing could get in of out. Poor little mites must have been very cold last night. So sorry to hear of your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 What a shame, I'm so sorry . Don't blame yourself, it could happen to any of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Oh no! I can only imagine how you must feel! Like others have said, don't hold it against yourself. A fox can hit at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Hen Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm so sorry for your misfortune. I did something similar once, and was just very lucky the raccoons didn't come around that night. Best wishes getting a new little flock in place again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I made a similar mistake and lost two hens as a result. Much more careful now, going back to the enclosure to check them all after they are locked up. Easy to leave things open and feeders down when your mind is on other things.

Minnie&Moose Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Very sorry to hear this. We lost a much loved hen last year to a fox because I forgot to clip her wing after she'd moulted (she obviously hopped over the electric fence one day and couldn't get back in time) - I still blame myself so I know how you feel.
