Living in the country and raising animals you never know what is going to happen. However, what happened to us Wednesday night, you hope will never happen. As you know, we purchased 55 baby chicks last month. After a quick count a couple of days after we received them, we realized they had shorted us 8 chicks so we were down to 47 baby chicks. Still plenty to supply eggs to our family and friends. Everything was going great, the chicks were growing, getting their wings and learning to fly, a little. When Bill got home Thursday, he headed down to feed and water them, he never expected to see the sight that he saw. We had 20 chicks dead. Some wild animal had burrowed under the coup and had dinner - on us. Bill quickly counted and we are now down to only 16 chicks. The balance of the chicks has not been found. We are so heartbroken. Brody was so mad he told Bill to go and get his gun and kill whatever got his chickies. We found the hole and have fixed it hoping not to have the problem again.
