Egluntyne Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Poor Josie. Will you get some more or just concentrate on hatching your own little egg for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 This is such sad news Shona. How are your family taking it? Please look after yourself,won't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 What awful news Hopefully this will be a lesson to those who let their girls free range unsupervised thinking that there are no foxes in their area. Foxes travel and even though you may not have seen one for 20 years-doesn't mean that one won't move into the area at any time and it only takes minutes of the hens being alone for this to happen. Sadly, sometimes we learn our lessons the hard way at the expense of our hens but if this incident stops a few other people doing the same thing-at least some good has come of it, albeit in a horrid way for Shona and of course her poor, unfortunate hens. I truly feel very sad at this news. Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thankyou everyone for your kind words and sympathy. I've spent the afternoon cleaning out the Eglu and dismantling the run, as we've decided to put new chickens on hold until after the baby is born.
