Update re: chickens

This is a very sad post.  One chicken, Cinnamon, was killed by her sisters
while I was in Florida.  I got home at 1:30 am.  So I didn't check them then.
The next day, I went out to check, and Blondie was dead, and they were con-
summing her.  I was hurt by another death--and what to do with the remaining
chickens.  I couldn't give them to someone else--they would do the same thing
over again.  Once a chicken becomes cannibalistic, they continue the behavior.
It doesn't happen often, but when it does, the advice given is to terminate the
chickens committing the act.  One of my friends took care of the matter for me.
I couldn't do it.  I still get teary every time I see anything about chickens.
