Grocery chickens live a miserable life. Homegrown live well, with a quick merciful end. Grieve, but don't feel too guilty.

Some people prefer to slaughter away from those left. I know I do. Others are comfortable doing it within sight. Do what works.

Assuming they have grit available, apple might add interest. You're likely a little blue from the loss as well, so remember to enjoy your chickens when you treat them!
