$890 of birds gone. I am so MAD tonight

That's terrific! That leaves about 25 to go. Hope you get some more.

Oh Perry, that was nice to hear that some have come back, and now...maybe more will return to the fold, that was good to hear. Now wishes to have a great day for you, with the mind that there may be more wonderful surprises hanging around the coop. CynthiaM.

I'm so sorry about your missing birds and so glad you've recovered some of them. Hopefully - you'll find some more.

I'm glad some of your birds have made their way back. That's excellent news, and I hope you can deliver more good news as the week wears on.

I'm sorry Perry. I'm so sad for you. And so happy too that some returned! I know your pooch is friendly but she almost had me running back to my truck when I stopped in! Security cameras and lots of motion lights sound like a good idea I hope some more of your birds return and most certainly that this does not happen again.

Lazyfarmer- just had to throw my two cents in.

So glad you've got some back. Hopefully some more will return. When I had a flock of chickens attacked by coyotes, I got a call from a neighbor a week later that one of my roos had showed up at her place (in her garden to be precise). She was not a happy camper until she found out what had happened. Hopefully some more will show up.

Thank you. Just returned last night from wedding in Calgary after being away 3 days. Another dove was flying around. I will leave the door open today to see if it will fly in the building to be with it friends. Once in the building I can net them. Two more young pheasants hanging around the big pens last night. Lady Amherst hen and a young Red golden. Already much wilder after being free a week. I will go out tonight to see if I can find out where they are roosting and then net them after dark if they are not to high up.

Oh how exciting, maybe more will come home!! Yay!! Such a serious loss. Now, what do you think you have lost in the total that have not returned to home? Good luck, hope you get many more back, a beautiful day wish to you and all, CynthiaM.
