✝️ Perfectly Imperfect ✝️
My head hen was a fairly large girl and one of my first hens. She was given lots of treats, like an embarrassing amount. (I know better now) I went out to let the girls free range for about an hour before lock up and noticed "Fashion" looked to be struggling. She was extremely pale so I rushed her into my shop and placed her in a dog crate with towels to help keep her comfortable. Within 15 minutes she was gone. I suspect fatty liver. It was extremely fast because I had checked on them moments before letting them out and she was acting normal. I hated to lose my wonderful girl, Fashion, but I'm relieved it was fast. I do worry about her feeling unwell in the months and/or years before her death but I hope the worst of it was quick. Seems like a hard jolt in certain areas can also cause them to bleed out internally. Was she pale or did you notice anything like that? I'm so sorry for your loss.
