Please make me feel better

I've just had a really traumatic 5 mins in the garden. I was getting a bit of leaf litter compost to take for the girls. They love picking through it, keeps them happy for days. And will be good for planting them some chard in a bit.

Long horrible story short. I disturbed a nest of babies. Tiny babies. Very cute, soft, wiggly babies. I think mice babies.

I did my best to snuggle them back up with the dry nesty material that had caught my eye in the first place. Checked though the bit I had in the wheelbarrow.

I missed one. Bantam chicken shot of like a rocket with another on her heels. I realised what she had. By the time they had it on the ground there was blood. No saving it. I had to walk away.

I know, I know. It's just nature.

But I still feel absolutely gutted. :(
