Unfortunately, I believe I lost Otis this morning to her infection. While I can't tell my two leghorns apart, I believe Otis was the hen that suffered a prolapse and the pus-egg. Up until the last day she seemed healthy and content to enjoy her food and run about with the others, so I'm glad she wasn't suffering. I found her dead on her perch when I went out to care for them.
It is so different to have a chicken die from a disease then when you butcher them. Because of money issues we have had to butcher many of the chickens I have and we were planning to get rid of Otis this way as well, but to loose her this way is just so different.

I'm so sorry to hear that

Hopefully she passed in her sleep and without any suffering. It is amazing how attached we can get to chickens, they are such amazing little creatures. Rest In Peace sweet Otis! I am glad she was at least happy up until the time she passed, at least you know she had a great life while she was here!

Thank you very much. One of the best things about having chickens is seeing them happy and excited.
