I was on vacation, had a friend watching the chickens through this horrible heat spell. Was really worried about the 2 - 12 week old RIR's I just added to the flock. But I should've been more worried about Avril, my sweet, tame 3 year old Americauna. I know she had started to molt, and was stressed by the addition of 3 hens and a rooster, 3 months old. But I didn't think she would die! I can't help but feel that if only I had been there, I might have noticed something wrong sooner, and maybe been able to save her. Or at least she would have died in my arms.
She was like a pet to me, snuggled up to me at night, jumped on my shoulder for treats. I can never replace her. If only I had stayed home!
How does anyone else get over the loss of a chicken who was also a pet?
