Stephanie-
The baby not only lived...Thanks Teresa!<br /><br />Stephanie-<br />The baby not only lived but seems perfectly fine, which is amazing. I am wondering if the donkey was upset but did not intend to kill it, because she certainly could have.<br />That baby is SO cute, i love it. It even has blue-ish eyes, and a tiny little beep beep chirp.<br /><br />Anonymous -<br />That is completely ridiculous. I dont think you actually even read the post. I have never laughed at or been cruel to an animal in my life... and if you knew anything about donkeys you would know they are fantastic gaurdian animals that make sure you don't have your cared for livestock killed. Without the donkey there to protect them, even with the best designed chicken coop these chickens would be killed by the natural predators of the forest.<br />It's nature. <br />You can not prevent a hawk or owl flying out of the sky, etc...<br /> The donkey had been nothing but nice to the other chickens, and once she threatened the rest, I rounded them up into their chicken coop (which is quite roomy and has a dirt floor for them to scratch on, nesting boxes, perches, etc that I personally designed with the help of a chicken loving enthusiast.<br /><br />Personally speaking, I dont see how you think I am amused by the chickens being hurt, it was horrifying to watch and unexpected, my reactions at the time were done purely by instinct to stop what was happening.<br />I would like to know what you could have done better.<br /><br />Anonymous-<br />Thanks for the link! I will try that out. :) I have taken flower essances before, many years ago and for me they seemed to work well.Miss Voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506905242956102111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-27064044329126536842010-09-06T02:59:09.520-04:002010-09-06T02:59:09.520-04:00You can make flower essences yourself.

Ha, you know I have called peo...Hey Beautiful Kind!<br />Ha, you know I have called people's human babies "it" before and the parents get really insulted. With the chickens, you cuaght on to my subtle attempt to not get overly attached to them- i usually even avoid trying to name them because wildlife kills them so easily.<br /><br />The donkey though - won't let anything kill them IF she learns to not kill them herself.<br /><br />Joan - <br />Ah, barn yard soap opera! The Young & the Restless. :P<br /><br />Anonymous-<br />That is a good idea! Now if someone wants to drive it over to my house. ha ha ha.<br />I really stay fairly calm during this stuff, but when JuJu tried to smash my chick, i felt a surge of maternal adrenalin.Miss Voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506905242956102111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808924925271942230.post-5789711965596875002010-09-05T03:05:40.456-04:002010-09-05T03:05:40.456-04:00Rescue Remedy all around, in their water and yours...Rescue Remedy all around, in their water and yours too.

One quibble: this sentence: "the rooster chases the hen, holds it by the back of it's feathered neck" should be worded: "the rooster chases the hen, holds her by the back of her feathered neck" - she is most definitely a she and not an it! :)<br /><br />I love a good rooster.
