    Dealing with Loss of 1st Chicken

    I am so sorry for your loss❤ I stood up for myself because I knew people would see those comments and honestly, I know not everyone looks at this situation the same. I do not want to prolong any suffering so I am taking the care of Lemmy carefully. I guess for me, it is kind of an ethical...

    Dealing with Loss of 1st Chicken

    I appreciate the support my friend but it is alright. I understand that not everyone will agree with my viewpoints or choices and because of that I did make my feelings known immediately. As a new chicken owner, this has been way more of a struggle (in terms of losing a hen) then I anticipated...

    Dealing with Loss of 1st Chicken

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I need to update you all on Lemmy (my surviving girl). It has been a rough week in a half but she is holding on. I am still having to feed her as she doesn't seem to have an appetite. We have her on electrolytes, mashed up feed and some oats and fruits. She...

    Dealing with Loss of 1st Chicken

    I did what I could to make her comfortable and made the decision to give her a chance. Ultimately she went on her own accord after she ate some food and drank water. I do not regret fighting for her and am glad she is not in anymore pain and is at peace. I would argue to say most owners feel...

    Dealing with Loss of 1st Chicken

    You made me cry again lol. I appreciate your kindness, it means a lot. Loss is hard to navigate...there are so many books and groups to turn to when it comes to a loss of a human family member or friend but the fur and feathered kids...not so much. Thanks for taking the time to read💜

    Thank you for the tips! Our enclosure is pretty big and we have the entire thing wrapped in metal to about 3 feet high and 5 feet high in the spot the chickens like to roost. I will be sharing this information with the husband as we not only have a more open coup but an upper coup that is...

    Dealing with Loss of 1st Chicken

    Hi everyone, I am a bit new to this and to be honest, am doing this out of clear desperation to not feel so alone and crazy in my thoughts at the moment. Night we just lost one of our 5 chickens who was severely injured from a bobcat attack sometime early yesterday morning. The site was...
