RIP My Precious Birds!!

[critter crazy]

Well It has been 6 days, since my 4 birds have dissapeared. I feel that worst has happened. I loved my birds so much, they were a huge part of my life. I know most people just look at me and say "it was just a Duck" or "It was just a Chicken" But they were more than that, they were my babies. They have been with me since they were 3 days old. The ducks would have been 1yr old in August. My Chicken Frannie turned a yr old on March 13th. I am so saddned by this whole ordeal. And the worst thing of all, my Duck Quackers has passed on as well. She was very sad after Ebony, Waddles, and Sweetpea dissapeared. She wouldnt come out of the coop, She would barely eat, and wouldnt even say anything. It was not like her, as she was one of the most Vocal ducks! I tried to comfort her, as did her two remaining sisters, but to no avail. I found her in the coop this morning, already gone. I cannot stop crying today! My world has been turned upside down!


RIP Quackers August 16th 2006-April 19th 2007, I am sure your heart is no longer broken as you are now swimming in the pond at the Rainbow bridge with Your best friends!

RIP Sweetpea August 16th 2006-April 14th 2007. You were the sweetest girl, and everyone loved you. You brought Many smiles to many faces.

RIP Waddles August 16th 2006- April 14th 2007. You were the man, all the ladies adored, and fawned over you. You were such a great protector, I can only imagine that is how you lost the battle for life, protecting your girls.

RIP Ebony August 16th 2006-April 14th 2007. You were such a quiet girl, but you were always adventurous. You loved you swimming time, and you will now be able to swim all day long at the Rainbow Bridge.

RIP Frannie March 13th 2006-April 16th 2007. Youe were a runt when you were little half the size, as everyone else. You even got picked on for it, and got pecked, I had to seperate you and your sister for quite a while till you healed, but you survived and flourished. You always came running when I came outside, always looking for a treat, which you always got. There will be plenty of treats waiting for you at the rainbow bridge.

I'm so very sorry about the duck Quackers,

I know she's very much happy swimming in the pounds of rainbow bridge. :(

Please don't give up on your other duckies, they must be out there somwhere!

A member from another forum let his favourit duck out, she had flighted wings so she was able to fly around and come back, but one day the man came home and she was gone .. never showed up for 8 DAYS!. One day he seen a pound and in that pound his little girl was swimming in, she had been there the hole time, he tried to grab her but it was no use. The next morning she was outside the coop and lucky enough he got her, now she's in her pen safe and sound.

So maybe your ducks seen another flock of wild birds and followed them to another area, there probably near water OR if your lucky someone else found them and is now keeping them in there coop. I would post up signs around and hopefuly somthing will come threw, if some predetor chased your birds there's no way it could attack all of them at once.

Im so sorry. I would never say "it was just a ____________" about any pet someone loves. Good thoughts and wishes sent for you. That is just horrible to lose so many pets at one time *hugs*.

Oh no! I remember reading that you were worried, but I didn't realize which ones. I've gotten to recognize Quakers and Sweetpea and lvved reading about their adventures.

I am so sorry about all these lovely feathered friends!

Hey, I am so sorry about your ducks and chicken. They're all so precious. I know how you feel--I'd never say it was just a duck or just a chicken. I understand how you feel 'exactly' We've lost 5 ducks that we just adored and a lot of people have told me 'it was just a duck' but that duck was my duck, know what I mean? I love my ducks same as you so I know exactly how you feel. I hope that your girls and boys will turn up and nothing be wrong with them. I'm so sorry. I've never had a duck come up missing, but I have had 5 ducks go to the RB so it's still heart breaking and sometimes I still cry about my ducks that died 2 years ago.

I know nothing anyone can say will make you feel any better, but I will pray for you to find them. Just know we're here if you need to talk to anyone.

I am sorry to hear about your birds. :( They were/are not "just a bird", they are your pets, your family. And people that can't understand that....well, I don't know what to say about them (this is a family site).
RIP Crackers, Sweetpea, Ebony, Waddles and Frannie. I know you are all together at the bridge having a good time.

Oh no, I can't believe they never came back:( this is such sad news:( I really wish there was something I can do, but all I can do is give you a big virtual hug and be happy that the birds are at least in a beautiful place now. I'm so sorry for your loss, all your birds were precious.
