And now, just as bad as the Icelandics being killed, my beloved serama cockerel is missing. My mom was gone when I got home, so I assumed she had put him in with the other seramas where he belongs. (I only glanced in their pen and the little house in there obscured part of the view.) Turns out when I looked in more detail hours later, she DIDN'T put him in there and she just now told me that she left him in a cage outside that any serama can easily escape from. Obviously he wasn't in that cage when I got home, so I just thought he was in with the other seramas.

And now it's raining like crazy. :( I hunted around the property, but there are thick bushes I can't get into. That's the only place I can think that he could be, if an animal didn't get him already...

Aughhh even though he's the one that killed the others, it was just an animal instinct. I love that little guy and I really, really want him to turn up.

Mom is completely pissed-off at me, blaming me for leaving for the party even though I told her the chickens were out and I was leaving for the party. I had no idea any of this was going to happen... They were in a secure pen in a fenced area, I though the worst thing that would maybe happen was that they might get rained on a bit. It IS my fault, all of it, and I'm just really upset.

Goddamn it, I HATE these sorts of things. And mom being utterly pissed at me isn't helping, and the rain is pouring down, and I want to go in the bushes and look for him but it's pouring.

;_____; I really, really hope he turns up, or this will be even worse than it already was. This sucks so hard, aughhhhh. C'mon little guy, please please be wet but okay...

I hope your little guy is okay! I'm really sorry to hear about the Icelandics, too. It dosen't sound like you did anything wrong or irresponsible, I'm sure you wouldn't have put those birds together if you knew they had a history of aggression, or left them out if you didn't think they'd be okay or trust your mom to put them back safely. It's not really fair of your mom to be angry at you for an accident, and it's shitty to try and make you feel worse about a situation like that.

*hugs* I'll be keeping good thoughts out for your serama to find his way home, and I hope you feel better as well.

Thank you for your sweet thoughts. It helps. I went walking around in the bushes looking for him, but no good... It's a huge patch of blackberry bushes, maybe 100-200' across and oddly-shaped, that gets taller than me and it's very thorny, so I could only go around the edges. I'm hoping he'll turn up in the morning. If not, I'm going to be very, very sad. He was just sleeping on my shoulder and under my chin while I was watching movies the other day, and I've been so proud of him--telling everyone about him, holding him a ton, and so on. ;____;

I did do something irresponsible--putting them out for the first time and then leaving, but I figured it was only for a few hours and that things would be fine. I guess not. Really feel awful...

Thank you for being there for me. *Hugs*

Well, hopefully if he is hiding out in there, he's using the bushes to his advantage to keep safe from larger predators.
Mistakes happen, and the best you can do is learn from them. I doubt you'd do anything that you legitimately thought might endanger your animals. I'm not sure how active a role your mom plays in their care, but she was home and aware of their situation as well, so it's not like you left them completely alone.

Let me know if you need someone to talk to or anything. I can always hop on AIM. <3

I'm so sorry about your chicks as well as your serama. I do hope he turns up soon. I don't know much about chickens and such (Only pet bird I had was a little cocktiel) but are they good at knowing where home is? Like if he gets hungry he knows how to get back to his food? Maybe leaving a little plate of his food by the thick bushes will coax him to come back?

Oh dear, I hope you find the little guy D: I don't think it was your fault. You secured them before you left. Your mom moved them, so most of the blame should be on her. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your Icelandics, too. ;__; *hugs* Good luck, sweetie.
