    Thank you. I know necropsy would have been ideal. There would have been.no way I could bring myself to do it,. We had taken her to be cremated already, so it's too late. She was extremely special to me so when I lost her the grief took over. Im just baffled over her symptoms because once she...

    Can someone explain internal laying for me?

    Unfortunately, she is no longer with me. She died trying to lay her last egg. Before she died she had that labored breathing for ten days like I was talking about. When she was still here only the first egg of each clutch she laid she would have that labored breathing for very long periods of...

    Can someone explain internal laying for me?

    I read that article and what is says did not describe her, that is why I assumed that wasn't her problem. It states egg yolk gets stuck, swollen abdomen, and yoke in her droppings. She never felt like her abdomen was swollen till it came time to lay her egg. Her droppings never had yoke in them...

    Can someone explain internal laying for me?

    She would have labored breathing ten days prior to her laying her first egg.it is also longer than it should be. The labored breathing stops once she gets that first egg out. All of her eggs are soft shelled no matter what. After that first egg, all the rest she has no odd behavior, just still...

    Can someone explain internal laying for me?

    Hello everyone. I apologize in advance if I am posting this in the wrong place. It's more knowledge due to a recent loss. My girl Lizzy would lay her eggs, sit, then be done for a while like every other hen. But with her, she would have labored breathing only while laying flat or doing certain...

    Why did my baby go through this?

    I am here again cause I need to get it out. It's been six weeks Sunday since I lost my beloved disabled hen Lizzy. I am not improving at all. I have never experienced a heartbreak like this. I did not expect her to die. It was sudden and terrible. Not long before she passed while facing away...

    anyone else ever experienced grief like this i miss her so much

    This is beautiful! I am so very happy for you! I'm still terribly grieving over my Lizzy. I have the opportunity to adopt a little 7 week old serama but I am not sure if it will help me stop crying over Lizzy or make it worse. Plus, I feel disloyal. And still holding intense guilt about how she...

    How to deal with grief? Chicken loss

    She is beautiful! I know it's been a while since your loss and I hope you are okay. I lost my little baby 5 weeks ago and I can't see myself recovering from this. She was unable to walk. I was her legs for almost two years and we formed a bond like you wouldn't believe. I'm not dealing with...

    anyone else ever experienced grief like this i miss her so much

    Hi, you had recently replied to my post about losing my little disabled hen Lizzy. I'm still not well. I don't know how to get a grip and handle my days because I held this little girl in my arms every second of the day. I'm just lost and empty. I've been googling questions and reading stories...

    Why did my baby go through this?

    It will be two weeks Sunday since I lost her and I am not handling it well at all. From 5:30 in the morning till roosting time she was in my hands being tended to or loved. Then at bedtime I slept with her every night on our loveseat in case she needed me. I don't know what to do with myself or...

    Why did my baby go through this?

    Oyster shell was to big and we couldn't find a grinder powerful enough to make the oyster shell smaller. At least find one we could afford so we did some research and found that some use calcium flour. Oyster shell but in powder form. We generously sprinkled that on her food which was in like a...

    Why did my baby go through this?

    The "what ifs" make it so much harder. It's been 5 days and I am still barely functioning and can't stop crying. I am so sorry for what happened to your little girl. Must have been tremendously terrible! God love her. Thank you for telling your story ❤️

    Why did my baby go through this?

    I forgot to mention that she also got dried mealworms daily, grit, and calcium. We do not feed layer. Another hen we have will a lot of times lay two eggs a day if we feed layer. I'd have to check with my hubby cause I am not 100% it might be starter / grower. He always buys it and stores its it...

    Why did my baby go through this?

    Egglands best crumble. We would only give a treat each day but one at a time and small amounts. When she was having breathing issues she did get hard boiled eggs often
