NOOO!! D: Please help me! Tomorrow's the day!

Postby Gecko1 » Tue Jan 19, 2010 1:46 am

No, no, no, no, no... :cry: This can't be happening...tomorrow I can't even say good-bye...and I can't even do anything about it. :cry:

A long time ago, me and my parents decided we wanted some chickens. So we ordered some online and at the local Brooksher's Feed and Farm Supply. All our chickens died because of a Jack Russel Terror(no I didn't spell that wrong) named Daisy before the chicks started to lay eggs or crow. Time after time we recieved new chicks, but they all died or just left one or two chickens extremely wounded and the rest eaten. One day, my dad decided to bring home some baby chicks from a school that was going to give them away to a meat packaging place. But my father rescued them and brought them home. It was a hot summer day, and they all had their feathers fluffed out and were resting their heads on each other's backs. They were all white except for one black and white one that I named Pepsi. A certain white one with a black spot on his back I named Fleck, and a pure white one I named Dove. There were others, too, but, like I said, chickens just seem to die with us around! I raised the three up, and I held them in my lap every day and stroked them. They followed me around like three little dalmatian puppies. Then a day came when they were to heavy and big for my lap. They didn't follow me anymore - now they had important stuff to do, like lay eggs, crow, eat, and mate. I was sad. I knew my mom and dad were planning on selling my beloved birds just because they were fatter than the rest. My mom explained to me that they just eat too much corn. I reminded her that even if I was fat, she wouldn't give me away to an orphanage where I would be slaughtered and eaten by cannibals. But my dad found someone at work to take care of them. He is going to take them away tomorrow morning earlier than 5:00 a.m. and I can't say good-bye to them, the birds I raised, and Dove and Pepsi are expecting the chicks of Fleck. Today we are letting them enjoy their last day here by feeding them cracked corn, letting them roam around the yard, and do anything they please. I know that they will be alright in another place, but I'm still very sad. Please help me! Tomorrow's the day.

Some pictures of the flock together -

In this one, the white hen in the corner is Dove.

In this one, the black and white hen is Pepsi.

Lol, yes, they're bad pictures. But they move quickly, and as you can see, Pepsi blinked. :lol: But still... :cry:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You think me rude but I
Would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems.

Aww I'm sorry to hear about your losses... It's sad when things like that happen. I once saw one of my friend's tiny little chicks die because her goat stepped on her, and it was terrible. But you should be happy that they're at least going to a good home. :) And you could always try and visit them, right? Anyway, it was great of you to help them (they were the ones you rescued right?), and I'm sure they'll be happy at their new home. ^-^

Hm, actually, if you adopt just one or two bantam chickens you can raise them in a birdcage safe from your cat!

Thanks for the comfort...I feel kind of panicked right now and I'm all sweaty. Really nervous...*looks around* :shock:

Awww thanks! *huggles* But...I just got some great news! After I pulled them out from under the chicken house to put them IN the chicken house, my mom told me that my dad will give them away on Thursday, not tomorrow morning because he just found out he couldn't make it! *yay*

I know exactly what you mean. We had three ducks that I raised from 1 day old ducklings (Splash, Waddles, and Jay-jay). They used to follow me around and let me hold them. As they grew older they became more independent. It was very sad for me, but at least I could still see them everyday. At the end of summer we gave them away to a farm (which I knew I had to from the beginning) on which they are still living today. I grew attached to them but I am sure they now have a good life. Best of luck to you and your chickens. ;]

That's saddening... I used to have chickens, too. Six hens, three at a time. The first trio were killed by raccoons, so I was given three more. One ran off, but two grew into beautiful egg-laying hens. One eventually died of obesity (Hens shouldn't be 25+ pounds, I think), and we had to give Fireball, the last Rhode Island Red hen, away because we were getting a golden retriever. She was happy in the coop that belonged to the person we gave her to- she bossed around the rooster and dogs and became the little Queen Bee I taught her to be. She lived a happy life, and so will yours. :)
