I'm absolutely gutted.
Knew something was wrong when I went down and all was quiet.
Will confess now my nephew is very ill and I went haring off to hospital to see him first thing without a second thought for chooks or anything. (I feel so guilty now......its been a very emotional few days and this has opened the floodgates and I can't stop crying.)
Stopped off to buy a months worth of food for them on way back, and this is when I found them.
I only have 5 of my ex-bats left and they are all shocked, can't figure out where it got in.
I now have 40kg of growers, 40kg of layers and 20kg of wheat and no birds.
Have shut them in shed to have quiet time to recover from shock and while I think about where to go from here. Really don't know if I should carry on keeping hens, have yet to tell Lauren 'her' hen is dead and thats going to break my heart.
