My beloved hen... Yea we think of our chickens as pets.... Was eight years old and we had to make room for some new layers. Hubby and I decided it would be most comfortable for her if we did it ourselves. Let me just say NEVER again! I feel so guilty and so bad for her. Everything went smooth, se felt no pain but the flopping around after is something I will never get over. So with tears streaming down my face, we buried her. Rip tulip
