Sad, Sad, Sad...
Feeling really sad and damn mad... So much loss in a 4 day period. Started with our black runner duck. Next day, lost a guinea. Yesterday lost my favorite black bantam chick we even paid to have surgery on months ago b/c we love her so much. TODAY... We lost our only male runner duck. We thought he was a hen when we first got him as a duckling and named him Henrietta. The name seemed to fit and stuck. Included a pic of Henrietta as a duckling. Really upset with myself right now for not doing more to protect my babies. Killed an Opossum this morning and will kill any and all bird predators I catch/trap. Ordering electric bird "netting" to keep them in a prescribed area. Before today, they had been allowed to roam at will, but this hasn't worked for us. 2 of our guineas were hit by a car just 2 weeks ago... Only have one duck now. If our duck eggs that the chickens have been sitting on don't hatch, we will never have any Henrietta/black duck babies:(.
I failed to mention our wonderful production red that was killed the same day/time as our little black bantam.... DAMN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
