Thursday night Bryan and Chandra looked outside to see their Chicken Barn on fire. . . The cause of the fire was initially unknown, as there were no lights, or electricity of any kind in the building where the fire started. They spent the night rerunning the incident through their heads over and over. After further inspection of the barn floor and fire marks in the dirt, it was obvious that the fire was arson.

Chandra posted on her facebook page Friday morning.

 “The building where the fire started housed my 9 Cemani’s. There were several birds lost in the connecting buildings as well. Including my 7 year olds prized Silver Phoenix. That was the hardest part for me watching the roof fall in on her babies, and knowing there was nothing more I could do. My husband and I fought through the flames, and were able to save several birds. I have 2 injured roosters, but they should recover just fine. We will have a lot of clean up over the next few weeks. Due to minor injuries I sustained rescuing the birds; I will not be able to start clean up for a little while. I appreciate and may accept the offers for help rebuilding. As of right now though, I am hurting so bad. I am not sure I will be able to mentally handle starting over. The birds that were lost were so costly that I will not be able to replace them. I have my Polish coops that were not touched by the fire. I will be spending the rest of the winter being thankful for them, and thankful that my family was kept safe. Again thank you all for your support.”

After lots of prayers and loving support, the family has decided that healing can only begin if they rebuild.

Please help them raise the money they need to start over.
