Joy and Sorrow

by GinniGApr 13, 2025
These are pictures of the 3 ducks we hatched in ____. They were so much fun! But one night in March 2024 a predator attacked and killed two of the ducks and badly injured the third one. Three nights later that same predator came back and killed one of our chickens, badly injured another which lingered for awhile and injured the 3rd duck again. After being attacked on her head we didn’t think she’d make it but she DID! So we named her Shirley because surely she was a survivor. Unfortunately just over a year later the predator came back and killed her. We were so very upset! I’ve told most of that story on another page about her but these are ones when she and her sisters were just a few months old and we were clueless… For the Hollywood’s Finest Option 2 Quote “I don’t understand why there has to be any pain” from the Witches of Eastwick. 30 Items Prompt #23 – SPRING is just around the corner (I hope) Use an item starting with each letter of Spring.

Sorry you experienced this with your birds. Life is tough, as nature constantly reminds us, we are not in control. Lovely page with the little decorated squares, title and fonts.

Thanks so much Sandy! Ironically the day I posted this we had another predator attack in the daytime. We lost one chicken and another is injured so we have her in the house until she heals a bit and we're pretty sure she'll make it...Just hate that part of homesteading. :(
