I posted some months ago about a hen that had become sick and eventually passed after two vet visits and weeks of me trying everything to save her. Well, we had another chicken become ill. I had thought she was getting bullied so I would separate her so she could eat and drink. I was able to keep her going for about a month but a couple of days ago we found her weak and unable to move. She looked the same as the last hen and instead of torturing myself for a week, we decided to let her go. We have a very small flock and love our girls so my bf took her to a necropsy lab near us to be euthanized. We couldn’t bring ourselves to do it. I’m just so broken about it. Im upset that we didn’t do it instead of sending her to a scary place alone. I’m upset that we started with 6 girls and only have 1 left. Im upset at the thought maybe it would have been able to save her if I tried harder. Im upset that I’m so upset over a chicken. A lot of chickens die each day but she was my girl. She had her own personality and was my most trusting hen. I don’t really have a question or anything I just wanted to vent. I will post the results once we receive them in case anyone is curious. RIP Elsa. I’m sure Ana will miss her sister
