What will you do when he realize's you arent feeding them?
Krib, I'm going out tonight to fake 9 large deer landing on my lawn, you think I can't fake feeding a couple of chickens for a few days? Mommas have ways.....
Buslady, I'm still not convinced I am going to tell him they're dead, I just know he will take it really badly
Guppy Fan - Don't worry, he's allowed to express himself, he may be a man one day but right now he's a little boy, and little boys and big boys need to cry sometimes. Incidentally, I'm sorry about your frog, it's sad when something you loved dies, you should be allowed to cry.
Graham....I'm sorry you've been through this too. I was always on the side of the fox but I pretty much hate this one right now, nature or not, I wish it hadn't happened and I wish I could go back and change it and I can't and that's the hardest part. I can't do anything about it. We are going to get new chickens, as to whether we switch them out and don't tell him....well, depends on whether we can get some in time. They were put away but the door wasn't locked. It will be in future.
Morgan - It's true you have to do different things for different kids, I know my sisters tortoise went up the rubbish tip, but Tracey still thinks dad buried him in the garden. My father wasn't the compassionate sort, so mum pretended dad buried him so Tracey could put flowers on his grave. That was about 30 years ago and she still doesn't know the truth.
Smith - yeah you can shop for chickens at Bobkan.co.uk - internet chickens, but these were rescue chickens and I need some more rescue chickens that look just like them. I will have to put a call out locally.
I have to go pick all their feathers up today, there's a trail right down the garden and over the shed, I am sending Dan and Dylan out shopping and I will clear up and make it look like nothing happened. Bloomin fox. I'm so mad at him.
BTW Sorry about your chickens.
