begging for help... pullet dying - update: she is gone :-(((((

No you are not the only one, I can relate to your love and your loss as I know some others here can. I could actually feel your pain when I read your words of sorrow and I cried for you. That may seem strange since I don't really know you but I know how it feels when you love them so much and can't save them. I can see how bad you're hurting and I am so very sorry. This kind of loss cuts deep and all I can say is that time will make it easier and we are here for you. She was beautiful and you gave her a good life. And she was loved. Those you've lost are healthy and happy waiting for you at the bridge, and she is with them now happily scratching around in paradise.

I'm not a big "poster" when it comes to things like this but I had to send some hugs!!!!

you guys are all amazing...

a bit earlier i wondered if i should give up on chickens, they break my heart so much - but where there is great pain it is because of great love and great devotion.

how could one live without such beauty?

(( hugs )) to all of you and your chooks, past present and future - let's not forget the future.

as I type this, little Oliver Mongfoot is cheeping from his brooder for his mama (me) - off I go for some hugs, and I dream that Sookie's spirit lives on.

Until then, carry on and make the best of what you have

I lost two beautiful pullets about a month ago.
It was horrible.they were black, my husband shut the coop up that night and did not see them in the dark .
We had a storm that night and I found them frozen the next morning..............
I am embarrased to tell you how badly I reacted......didn't take it out on my husband.he was devistated
but I could not eat or sleep for two days...............I was litterally sick.
It does get better........I have new babies hatched out but still feel sick when I think about it.
You did such a good job for her...........

Don't give up.

BYC people rock.

Seriously.

Nobody else would ever understand what the loss of a special hen / rooster feels like.
