Just lost 2 of my good girls to foxes.
Our take
This morning, the heart-wrenching reality of farm life hit hard for Honey_Suckle_Nectar, who faced the devastating loss of two beloved bantams to a cunning fox. Waking up to a scene of feathers and blood is enough to ruffle anyone's feathers. The unfortunate breach in the coop, where the seam and wire mesh failed to protect those feathered friends, has left them feeling like a guardian who couldn't shield their flock. It's a painful reminder of the unpredictable nature of having chickens—a journey filled with joy, humor, and, at times, sorrow. As the community rallies around Honey_Suckle_Nectar, it’s a moment to share in both the heartache and the memories of those cluck-tastic girls who brought so much joy.
