The other night all our chickens got killed by some animal, we have racoons, foxes, and coyotes around our house so probably one of them. I got up in the morning before everyone else and opened the back blinds and saw their remains and feathers scattered over our whole back yard. It stinks they just started laying eggs. We were planning on keeping these ones as long as we could for the eggs. The kids took the news fine. No one even cried! After we told them I gave them each a hug and tears even came to my eyes but not one tear to theirs. I know they are so sad, they loved those chickens! They just didn't express it. I asked them on the way to school if they were even sad because they weren't acting like it and they said of course we are mom we just are trying not to be. Anyways we are going to get more next spring but we just have to keep them in a complete enclosed coop.
