I felt your pain through the screen. I am so sorry you lost your pets. I know the feeling of having a dog come through and wreck havoc on pets. I lost a beloved rabbit due to a dog breaking into her enclosure. My heart breaks 💔 for you so prayers for your family on these losses. 🙏 🥰 🐓
When my daughter loses a chicken she is heartbroken. She just had 6baby chicks hatched. We were all excited when shed call and say another one hàtched.❤
So sorry for your loss, we had a fox get into the top of a pen two weeks ago, killed 15 of my grandsons chickens he hatched from eggs. They were all half grown so he had put so much into them. Only two left. It’s just so heartbreaking. I hope your kids are okay. Sending a big hug.
I love my chickens and I hold them love on them . They not only give me eggs but they are my pets . I know how you are feeling . I lost one of my girls a few months ago due to age . Her name was lacy and I cried over her . I was able to hatch off some of her eggs and now I have 4 beautiful girls that look just like her. We have a lot of different farm animals and our guardian dogs really do their job and protects them. We got them as pups so they could grow up around our animals . It might be a good idea for you all to get one . Surly with it being an outside dog it wouldn’t cause your husband issues with his allergies.
That happened to us about a year ago. A dog chewed their way in and killed just about my entire flock. 2 survived. We lost approx 28 birds. We have gone back and reinforced our coop so that entry is close to impossible. We have put hog panel and cattle panel on all of the walls and doors. If they chew through the hardware cloth they will then need to fit through a pretty small square to gain access. So far nothing has gotten in again. We have rebuilt our flock but the emotional loss and then the expense to reinforce and gather a new flock was very hard to bear. I hope I never walk out to such a horrible scene again. We also lock our chickens in and night and I let them out each morning. No auto door here but that's okay with me. I like the extra time and attention I can give them. Having that past loss has made me so much more appreciative and just aware for these little beings placed in my care. I will do my best to keep them happy and safe. I hope you never have to go through such an event again. It's horrible but dogs do happen as well as other more natural predators. All we can do is try to out think them before they show up. God bless.
😢❤ hi sweetie I had a hen named Rosa bell,my pet, she sat on my arm came when I called her,and while we were in Europe on vacation my neighbor accidentally scooted her out of his garden and hit her with a shovel and end up killing her and I cried myself for a long time for few yrs, and even ,😢today I'm now in my mid 60s and my eyes. I love you God bless you.❤🙏
Just cry it out Tiffany! I'm sorry about your chicken pets. It does happen when you're raising different animals, I went through that when I was a kid, prayers for you all🙏🙏
Oh my gosh I'm crying with you! So sorry this happened! My pet chicken's name was Llilla when I was 9 years old. Give your kids extra hugs. I'm glad you're gonna get more precautions. I'm praying 🙏🏻 you get over this loss quickly and have fun picking out new chicks...such a tough part of farmlife. Hugs ❤
As a chicken Dad for over 50 years I have lost too many chickens to count, but your OG's are special they are the proof of all your hard work and vigilance to raise such healthy birds. I feel your pain I have to admit when I lost mine I shed a tear or two. I shed a tear for your loss also. God Bless your Farm, 😞🙏
I’m so sorry!!! This happened to us on Christmas afternoon 😢 we pulled up to our land to find 3 dogs had busted into the run and were still in there. It’s devastating!!! I’m so sorry!!!
Oh Tiffany I am so very sorry. How are the kids doing? 😢 Such a difficult situation to go through. I’m so heartbroken for you all. Big hugs to you. 😘🫶🏻💔
I’m so sorry your family experienced this. We went through the same thing, except we had taken in a hurt stray dog. Trying to do a good deed and she ended up killing my son’s favorite rooster and 3 hens. I cried hard. It hurt the whole family’s heart.
I’m hurting for you and your family. Praying you’ll get an unexpected blessing. My husband and I had a curveball this week too. But not as sad and awful as your family. I’m asking your prayers. Our county assessed all the homes in our county. Our taxes increased by 400%. We are seniors and this is more than the cost of living raise we received. We don’t smoke, drink, or waste money. Just must trust the Lord. Our age and health do not permit us to work.
Oh I'm so sorry to read that. Please go and speak to somebody in charge of Home evaluations and explain your situation. There has to be a way they can lower it.
@@marykoufalis7666 I called everyone I could yesterday including the office of the Senator. I attempted to place an appeal prior to the deadline. The assessment company never called me the day of my appointment. Right now, I have no choice to pay the additional money each month.
Oh girl this made me tear up.... I've been where you are and it was a very sad time for our family...our children were devastated. I'm really sorry you had to go through this
We got our first OGs in March of ‘23 and we lost them to a German shepherd who had kept coming around. The loss was so hard. We learned hard lessons and reinforced the run/coop even though we thought it was predator proof. The dog was taken and we haven’t seen it since. Thankfully this round of girls/boys has been safe. Big hugs to you! The feeling is awful even though it’s a part of the journey!
Just started watching your videos. Sorry for your loss. Yes it is hard to lose family pets. We have lost calves, goats and chickens. Most recently racoons got into our chicken house. Thought we had it varmint proof but they still got in.
When we first started out homestead I started with 19 chicks. Raised and had them spoiled. Always got plenty of eggs and had a good customer base. We had a neighbors dog attack and kill 10 of them. I was devastated. I have rebuilt my flock and always get attached to each one. They are my peeps. It still hurts. I loved them better than I had ever loved any other animal be it cat or dog or calf or goat … I’ve always lived on a farm. Always had every animal under the sun including gray squirrels. I love how we are able to start over and grow again It’s like the land teaches us how to go through the different seasons. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Tiffany my heart go out to you and the children I know how much your chickens mean to your family. Sending prayers and hugs 😂. So sorry for the loss. Love from Arizona ❤.
I am so sorry for your loss! I found your channel recently after searching for chicken keeping content. We are building a homestead on our new property and your videos have been so helpful. I have been binge watching your videos since I found your channel last week. My heart breaks for you and your family.
Oh Tiffany I’m so sorry about your chickens!! I know that’s tough. I hope it works out somehow for y’all to be able to get a dog. I’m sure your kiddos were upset to 😢
I am so sorry, you and your family are in my Prayers. Our animals are part of our family, no matter what their God given purpose. Loss is always hard. PRAYERS
I cried the ugly cry when we lost my favorite chicken. It’s still hard! I think the LGD is a good idea. My daughter is highly allergic to dogs, but does okay as long as they aren’t in the house. But our dog runs off anything that comes near the yard. We also have an air purifier running at all times in our main living area that will remove any dander that is tracked in and also one in the all of the bedrooms as a double layer since we all have allergies.
Oh, friend, I’m SO sorry. This hurts my heart for you. We haven’t shared about this on our channel yet (but likely will soon), but shortly after having to make the incredibly decision to rehome our dairy goats for a season, which was NOT something we wanted at all…we sadly lost our entire remaining flock of chickens at once a couple weeks later. 💔 It was so hard, frustrating, and just discouraging so I totally get everything you mentioned. We’re starting from scratch again here in the next couple weeks with a new flock, but days like this in the homesteading world are so hard. Thank you for being so transparent and real and I’m SO sorry this happened to you guys. ❤️
I’m so sorry about your chickens.I live on a farm with numerous animals. We happen to have 2 Great Pyrenees, one on side of our field. We use to have a fox and coyote problem but since we have had the dogs, we have no issues with the foxes or coyotes.
So sorry for your loss! We had a farm for many years and had this happen, it's heartbreaking! The automatic door and going in at night helped a lot!! Love your channel❤
I feel you. Day after New Years, dogs got in my coop and killed 19 of my chickens. We had raised them from babies and just were old enough to start laying. We have tried to contact the people who own the dogs but the dogs came back again. I know how you feel it is devastating.
When I consider an animal a pet then they become part of our family and I love them deeply. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I hope the kiddos are doing ok. I'm glad that 3 survived! What fighters! Sending lots of love and hugs❤ Nicole from Indiana
Thank you all so much for your kind words and love! ❤
