My sweet, darling Junior was killed yesterday by our heeler mix. Of all of my birds, Junior was everyone's absolute favorite. I'm sure he died trying to protect the rest of the flock, tiny though he was. I was crying about it last night, and my FIL told me "Crying's not going to make anything better." At which point, I told him we needed to get rid of that dog since her only purpose in life was to chase our cars down the driveway and kill my chickens. He stormed off, and we haven't spoken since. I know that when it comes to livestock, getting attached is a bad idea, and truthfully, there are quite a few birds in my flock that I haven't gotten attached to. But Junior? He was an absolute darling, and will be sorely missed.
