As a fellow steward of the land and it's animals on a farm, my heart goes out to you all. My partner and I often say " their end we can not control, but the life we give them will always be our best." May you find comfort in knowing y'all did the same.

Sorry about your lovely Chickens..I always thought they had individual characteristics and of course beautiful colours😕

@helendennis7662 2 месяца назад

a goose won't stop dogs. Much as I hate seeing it our village neighbours keep a small yappy dog, usually on a chain, to protect their chickens and it works, we have jackals among other predators. We use electric netting. But a LGD would definitely work.

@Jeannie. Месяц назад

You can build wood decking that is raised 6 inches or so above the ground for the chickens to run under.. build various ones around the gardens where the chickens roam. It will give them cover from hawks and dogs. Make them into viewing stations to put a couple of chairs on to sit and have wine and gaze over your grounds in the evening. Make them large enough that their little trails can't be grabbed by a dog reaching under.

@TheNewbys Месяц назад

Nice idea friend. ❤️❤️❤️

@luciatheron1621 Месяц назад

Best idea. Because where I have shrubbery and hidding places, the chickens survive another day...when the chickens are in the open pasture they are at risk. Xx

Our thoughts are with you. Life goes on, will miss them brought COLOUR WARMTH to your garden and farm. The pathway John is creating is outstanding. Your green house is blooming just beautifully. Glad to see the Magnolia Tree new place close to Luca, Sara, Luce's Olive Tree. Let us know how your Olive Trees are doing. Everything slowly and surely is looking grandiose.

What a heartbreaking experience for you they were such beautiful chickens. You may not be able to consider this, my family has a Marrema dog they will bond with and protect all the animals on your property , at first patrolling the boundaries and barking a warning and will attack wolves and wild dogs heroically, they are breed to live outdoors. They have a lovely nature soft and patient with children and will not stray beyond your land. I know you will be brave , the love of your family and time can help heal the pain. Your new little flock are lovely 🐓😢❤️

@Blueeys55 2 месяца назад

People who think chickens don't have personalities don't know chickens! So sorry for your loss! Some of the memories of them are priceless! Put electric fence around your free range area if you can that comes on in the evening or at night. Dogs hate them! A livestock guard dog is another choice also. We have lost none to predators since we got ours, and the electric fence keeps them home and other dogs out. We have about 65 chickens! Love them all! But as you well know, some are very extra special too!

I’m so sorry you lost your chickens… life is sad from time to time isn’t it. Our animals definitely mean a lot to us.

Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us! 😊😊😊

Sending you so much love. We've had it with fox attacks. Only recently my daughter managed to save our oldest blind goose from being taken. He grabbed her tail, but luckily my daughter was in the barn and heard the commotion. It's horrible, and I do hope once you recover, the new chickens will help because they are a joy. Those dogs are a darn nuisance. I know you will look to the positive and that's the best thing to do. Hugs to all of you xxxx

I was sad too when you told us about the chickens. They were so much a part of the landscape, they really belonged to the family. Just a thought, maybe get a farmyard dog, also fun and might dissuade other dogs to have a go at your other animals. Big hugs! Also curious about the plans John has for the addition. I kinda need to see it happen, but am looking forward to it. I respect your way of farming, you are being thoughtful and respectful to your farm! People need to be kinder. 😊

I had to keep doing it every year, but I had a lovely, straight tree that bloomed creamy blossoms in the spring and produced red berries in the autumn. The blooms remained for a couple of weeks.

A home in the countryside is so close to nature and, so often full of animals ... domestic and wild. They become part of our family and touch our souls ... Your 'brood' of living beings is so integrating and 'ticks along nicely' .... It's so obvious to us outside looking in (lovingly, I might add) how you all, with your neighbours and friends, swing together .... to help, support, work, and care for each other. So grieve for your chicks, precious parts of your band, and love your new additions as you can so wonderfully do .....

Sorry about your chickie loss. 😔 I have a pretty large flock, but lost 10 of them when I was at hospital during my husband's 10-day stay. Broke my heart, as they ARE all named and like family. It's like the hawks knew I would be gone all of those days. I have since installed netting over their entire yard, which is about 150 feet by 200 feet. The attacks left the remaining birds quite traumatized, but they are quite resilient, when I spend good time with them. They taught me to speak Chicklish, and they all get along with my dogs, cats, and turkeys. I hope you get the mean dog issue straightened out with those owners. THEY should be responsible for paying for replacement chickens. Sending hugs. 🤗

Goat's manure can also go straight into the garden. We have 4 and they definitely contribute a lot haha!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your chickens, I love your greenhouse, everything is coming together. God bless you and your family.

Sending so much love to you all, your feathered friends knew they were so loved, animals bring their own kind of joy and anyone with a heart would feel just how you do, your new feathered family will fill that void, grow their own personalities and know they are loved. Big hugs to your family from ours xxx

Sorry to hear about the chickens 😢. Scary to think any one of you could be attacked, too. Electric fence or guardian dog would be helpful. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

@thehighlandlife2023 2 месяца назад

Yes what a terrifying thoughts right? I was going to suggest a guardian dog but then maybe make going away a bit harder for them but electric fence is a good idea but shorts out if grass is long so needs trimming around it. X

Sending lots of love to your family after your loss. As for your garden, of course it will take time to reach your no dig goals! I hope no one would be judgemental about that. I think you may enjoy watching some of the videos from Acre Homestead - I have learned a lot from Becky and she has a wonderful inclusive and no judgment gardening energy

Dear Tara, John, Crusoe and Saywer! I saw this episode two hours ago but I wasn´t able to write some words emmediately! I´m still without words! There is nothing good enough to console you! What a loss! They weren´t just chickens, they were YOUR first animals at all and more than just farm animals! And they were really cute with their personalities! Soooo many special moments.... sitting on the kichen top, takeing over your house as theirs and making a mess! Takeing over the little wall as their new way so that they don´t need to jump steps anymore, (Joao hadn´t even finished plastering it) and like you mentioned... Fifi´s footprints will be there forever! And you did right! Taza needed new friend emmediately even though you might not be ready for it! And perhaps you are trying to keep emotionally more distance from the chickens right now, which would be totally understandable, but you will be fine over the time! I´m feeling with you all and big hugs!😪

😢😢 very sad and sorry about your beloved chickens. We feel for you, and send you hugs of love. You did right getting new ones straight away. Hope the dogs stay away, as it would be awful if they return, maybe you can do something to keep them out, or find the owners. Lots of love from us both, xx😢😥💐💖

Hello from Australia 🦋. I am sorry for your loss. I still have a tear occasionally about the loss of my 3 month old chickens that a neighbours dog killed. Your new flock look great! Best wishes for success. Jenny❤
