Oh no! Sorry about the late reply its the weekend here. Golden Chooks are a lot more upkeep than the other chooks, at least -5 per chook. If you hatched a lot and then got unlucky with a rainy day, or low food this can really affect your happiness level.
The more Chooks you have, the more unhappiness you create due to crowding. If they get too unhappy Chooks will decide to leave until you bring the happiness back up.
Or was there some kind of bug do you think that stopped you/made too much unhappiness?
Either way, it sucks you have to start over, if you email me at contact@trilumstudios.com or join our discord I may be able to help boost you back up!
Do you mean that when you loaded you only have 9 left, or did they all leave after you loaded?
We're looking into it, but this is the first we've seen of this bug. They cant leave unless you are active on your farm, the only thing we can currently think has happened is some sort of corruption or editing of the main save file.
Again, massive apologies you've had this experience, and Im happy to sort you out with a boosted save if you contact me directly via contact@trilumstudios or join our disc and hit us up there.
