Chirping
Our mama silkie is very attached to her 3 month old baby. They do not go anywhere without each other. Today, while they were out free-ranging, a wild bird swooped in and struck the chick, killing it instantly. We brought them both inside, and Smoky immediately sat down next to Pudding, making little distressed purrs but not moving from the baby’s side. She gets upset when we try to move her from the baby. She obviously understands that her chick is dead, but will she snap out of it herself and leave it, or do I take it from her now?
