ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ- IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT CHICKEE'S MOM

I just received an upsetting call from Chickeesmom (Vivian) and her barn has burned down today.
She was only able to save a couple birds, ones that were not in breeding pens but were out in the alley and free ranging. So this is a HUGE loss for her and her family, and her stock.
She says once she saw the smoke there was nothing she could do, the barn was old and they figure it was a wiring issue that caused the fire. The barn went up too fast, basically it was over and done before the fire department even got there.

So anyone that was planning on heading to Vivian's this weekend to get stock, please do not. She is going to try to reach those she can but you all understand how upset she feels at this point so if you read this please do not go to get your birds, she simply does not have them.

I know all our hearts go out to her at this time, but it will be a while before she feels ready to come on and post again, so please give her time.

Oh poor Viv,

She is such a sweetheart, I was at her place a few months back so I know the barn you speak of.

My heart goes out to her, she had many nice birds.

Horrible Horrible news.

I volunteer my services to help her rebuild, and if she wants I will gladly supply her with some Orpingtons Free of Charge.

This is sad news.
If there is anything we can do, please call on us.

This is terrible news. Just terrible. My heart goes out to her.

OMG that is one of my worst nightmares. My thoughts to her and her animals. If she needs any birds when she is ready, I will help in any way I can. I'm so sorry.

Such sad news. I can't imagine how she must be feeling right now loosing her birds like that. Fire happens so fast and worse where many of us live getting help for a fire is next to immposible.

If there is anything we can do to help, a donation to help her rebuild her barn or flock, please let us know. We would gladly help.

OMG. Viv.....
My biggest fear is a fire. It must ahve been horrible, Im so so sorry to read this.
When ever your ready, Viv, we are here for you. What ever you need , or would like, let us know. We are all close, in friendship and in miles....

That is horrible. I hope Viv takes some comfort in the friends she has both here on the forum and off (many of you are both).

My thoughts are with you.

So very very sorry to hear that. We'll be thinking of you!

That is horrible, sooo sad.. My thoughts are with her and her family and the animals involved.
Vivian, they are many hands out here including myself that want to help you build the barn back up and also fill it with good stock again. I hope there are some folks out there that have some of your great birds/bloodlines, who will be able to give you back some once the time is ready.
All the best and stay tough,
Piet

So sorry to hear such bad news! hopfully poeple will come together and help you rebuild your stock when your ready. I wish i had some of your babies still to help you out. thinking of you!

Sorry to hear about this. I would love to help in anyway possible!! If anyone has eggs from some of her stock that need hatching, I would be more than happy to hatch some for her. I can't do much physically for her as we are too far away, but would be able to hatch eggs and bring young birds to her this summer if she was ready for some replacements by then. Please let me know if I can help out in any way!

Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you Vivian!!!

Oh Viv i am so sorry for your loss of your critters.

Terrible, just terrible!

She is welcome to some of my Partridge Chanteclers when she is ready for them. More than happy to help get the Chants back in her coops.

Fire is so devastating. We are sorry for this tragedy and hold you in our thoughts.

Very sorry to here about this I am sure it is a nightmare, if there is anyway I help please let me know.

I am so sorry to hear what happened, Jonny told me when I was on my home for work.... When the time comes we are more then willing to come out and help with rebuilding or even with cleaning up.

I hate how such a horrible thing happened to such a wonderful person!!!!

Karrie

I'm thinking about Chickee's Mom like the rest of you. I would be glad to help with some hatching eggs or chicks when she is ready.

I'm so sorry to hear this ! As was said ....stay tough

I too would like to give her hatching eggs when she is ready. I have a trio I got from her last summer and I will give her any eggs from them she wants.

My thoughts and prayers are with her!

I am so sorry a fire has always been my worst fear, if there is anything in birds that I have that you want either eggs or stock they are yours a gift from me to you.

So sorry to hear this. Please let us know if there's anything we can do.

Oh how horrible and devestating! What a huge loss, I am so sorry this has happened.
Does Vivian have somewhere to house the few birds she was able to save?

So sorry to hear of your loss, stay strong!

I'm so sorry to read this. Is there anything she needs right now? I volunteer my husband's work (I'm in BC but he is in Alberta!) and his roommate too, if possible, to help in any way!

Please let us know what you need Chickeesmom!
