OMG!!! I'm so sorry for your loss! I think you should try to spend more time with your other chickens to get your mind off of her. But you could tell yourself that hey, at least she didn't die a long painful death. You made the right decision to put her to rest. So sorry for you! BYE!:hit:hugs

Well my family all picked a breed and then named them. My mom has a Speckled Sussex named Lola, My dad has a Black Australorp named Queenie,my brother Max has an Easter Egger named Rainbow, my other brother Henry has a Buff Orpington named Elizabeth,I have a Barred Rock named Luna, and our extra...

No, I never wear a mask when handling my chickens or cleaning. You don't need to wear one but if you have any trouble breathing or something like that then I would. :)

:welcome

yes it's sad since they just can't keep laying SO MANY eggs so they die young. 😭😢

thanks Mary sounds like you know a lot about chickens! And I agree about not getting the cornish chicks.

thanks for the info! We might get RIR but probably not. I'm probably gonna get a Barred Rock my brother will probably get a Buff Orphington my other brother will probably get a EE and my mom wants a speckled sussex so we'll probably get one and my dad doesn't care what he get so he'll probably...

wow you know a lot! thanks for all that information! And I'm aware they might die young. Well I'd be happy to let my hens just live their life. We will let them live a full life. And when they do die we'll probably get some new ones. (hopefully) 🐔 :jumpy🐤🐥🐣

yes that is what we will use when we get chicks.

we will not free range since our house,chicken coop, and yard are right beside a like forest so there are many predators so it is just to much of a risk for us to free range.

oh ok well you are very smart thanks!

I would be heart broken. I am so sorry for your loss.

We'll be probably either going somewhere were we pick chicks out of bins and buy them or ordering from a hatchery. I will definitely post pictures of our new coop and the chicks as they grow into hens. :frow Great advice by the way you are very helpful!:celebrate:yesss::love:jumpy🐔🐤🐥🐣 thanks again!

By the way do any of you use heat lamps? Well we will not be it is a fire hazard. And chicks could die from having a heat lamp shining on them. They get what some people call pasty butt or poopy butt. :(:barnie😱😨
