I’m so sorry. I’ve never had silkies, but I’ve lost several hens over the years the same way, just find them dead one morning😔

Time for *all* Americans to rise up against this dangerous regime.
A foreign air force base on our soil?
Foreign controlled bombers and fighters and drones launching from within our borders?
