Am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too lost a special little one only after 3 days of having her. (I didn't hatch her though) She was a mottled Java and just as cute as could be. However, she went down hill fast and didn't make it. When I called the feed store I bought her from (along with others) they told me they got a bad batch of chicks and many of the Java's died. They never told me what "bad batch" means and I never thought to ask. The others were fine and have grown by leaps and bounds. It's never easy losing anything we are attached to. However, it is teaching about acceptance and perspective. I wish you peace :>
