I know. I have a bad habit of not reading the entire thread before posting. This has taught me lesson, don't worry, it won't happen again!

Awesome!
It's just something we all should do, always.
It's a good habit to start, better now then never. :thumbsup
 
Thank you all for trying to help with my chicken. Yesterday was very emotional because I've never lost one of my critters before.

They are all like my kids and I blame myself for being so dumb about wearing jewelry around them. They don't know any better and it's my job to take care of them and protect them.

Penelope had managed to hop on top of her food dispenser and poke her head through the side of the box she was in. I guess she lost her balance and ended up choking. I found her that way.

My husband did the horrible deed and examined her for the earrings. He found one in her gizzard and the other perforating her digestive tract before the gizzard. He said she had blood clots and infection around the post and she would have died in a few days anyway and suffered a lot which would have been terrible.

He wrapped her up and buried her and said we can plant a tree for her. He likes to joke about eating them but he's really a softy.

Thanks again everyone for the hugs and understanding.

:hugs I'm so sorry for her and you. It wasn't your fault, there was no way you could have foreseen it.

Many more hugs!:hugsI am so glad she was spared further suffering....blessing in disguise, perhaps...sorry to say that I am not trying to be callous...and great hubby! What kind of tree? I like mountain ash or maybe a berry tree!

I agree with the two posts above. I wear earrings sometimes...and it's something that NEVER would have crossed my mind that a chicken would snatch them up. I'm still surprised at it when I think about it.

Thank you as well for letting us know what your husband found with her. I too am very grateful she didn't go through the suffering she would've if that's what was happening inside.

That was really good of your husband for taking care of everything and it's a very lovely thought he had about the tree. :)
