I'm really sorry to hear that Shaun. hard to believe people could behave that way.

shaun,
I am so sorry that you have gone through this - mindless cruelty is unforgivable,
Have you informed the police and perhaps the local newspaper --- do anything
to shame them,

It's beyond belief that a human being could do this to animals. Wonder if they would be so brave if a 6ft man caught them. Disgusting.

So sorry to hear about your hens. A good high voltage going through the handle of the run is what I'd like to do - and a little moat, so they were standing in water at the time. Ba...rds! Don't give up though, they're so lovely to have and at least they had a good few months with you of better life than they had before.

So sorry to hear about your hens. ( Don't give up on poultry. )

How awful - how could anyone be so cruel? I am really sorry :(

Their time will come. Maybe not yet, but it will. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

:o I'm appalled to read this, Shaun. Too late now for the dead and injured, but I hope there will be a CCTV drive on your site, backed by the police. Have the missing chooks been found? I shudder to think what their fate might be.
-
So sorry about your chicks.
-
Very sorry to read about this cruelty.
RSPB or RSPCA might be more active than the police

i would like to thank you all for your kind words its people like your self's that make me wont to carry on i cant put in to words how i felt yesterday i was sick to the stomach , how ever the inured birds have now been look at by the vet and they are on the mend the vet did not charge me for the treatment, one bird has been found on another plot this morning and is back with the flock . i have arranged a committee meeting with plot holders and the police have been informed but they have yet to show there faces . i am going to make my plot more secure even if it means putting a 10 foot fence up and 3 guard dogs on
every one is keeping an eye and ear open , thanks again for your support it dose make a difference

Ive just read this Shaun..........bloody mindless cruelty!!
I do hope that something can be done about security at your site. I do agree with Barnowl that going to different sources like the RSPCA as well as the police might be beneficial.
I feel ashamed to be human when I hear despicable acts of downright savagery like this. On the other hand Im glad that most uf us.......including your vet.......can restore faith in human nature by their understanding and kindness, which was previously destroyed by inhuman thugs.
I do hope your flock recover well and you are able to replace those lost when things get better.

Sorry to hear this. How can anyone do this.
Hope you can get it secure for the future. I use security panels from a building site but the weak point is the gate although it has a padlock.

This is terrible ~ just remember that what goes round comes round ~ these mindless people one day will feel like you do.
-
Sorry to hear this Shaun. Just awful :'(
-
utterly disgusted by that Shaun, feel so sorry for you,and your birds.
So sorry for you.
Regards.

After Old Bird had her chickens stolen and now this,It is giving me second thoughts about keeping chickens on the allotment.I do not have anywhere else to keep them.
I was looking forward to starting in the spring but not so sure now >:(
-
i just cant beleive it - anyone that hurts any animal should be locked up and the key thrown away.....or even better have what they have done, done to them.
It is just bloody awful.
I would defo ring the police, rspca and the local newspaper.
-
This seems to be happening more and more - what on earth gets into these sickos!
I am so sorry for you and your girls!

Just come across this thread after being away a while.
:'( :'( This is just so awful, despicable that anyone could do such a thing to a defenceless animal. They are not human, they are scum of the Earth and i'd like to do the same to them.
May i have the area this happened so that i can warn other chook keepers in case these morons decide to repeat their "fun"?
