Chicken lost half her skin

[ariri30]

I'm letting her go today. It's been touch and go, and today I saw signs that this is only going to get worse, so I'm asking a neighbor to help me let her rest. Thank you all for your support.

So sorry but you are doing the right thing
RIP

Im very sorry she wasnt able to overcome her injuries. But at least she felt your kindness & knew you cared.

I was reading this thread all the way through and rooting for her You did an incredible job. Animals are very intuitive—I’m positive that she felt your care and love and even if her injuries were terrible I’m sure that she was happy in her last days.

If you haven’t said goodbye already, a method I have used is Ether fluid. You put them in an airtight space with a towel soaked in it. Ether is what they used to use for anesthesia, it will put her to sleep peacefully, both for her and you.

You can let her go knowing that you gave her every chance. Good for you for not extending her suffering just to make yourself feel better. You have done and are doing the right thing.

Oh, I am very sorry for your loss. You have given her all of the chances to survive, but glad that you have made the decision to not let her suffer.

I expected to be devastated, but the feeling of doing what was best for her made it so peaceful, even though I was afraid. I'm glad we tried and she died with someone who loves her.

I'm really, really sorry, for her and you, but I do understand and am glad she is at peace and no longer in pain. I'm sure she went painlessly. My condolences.

Thank you for the suggestion. I ended up doing it myself, the broomstick method. It was quick and easy, she didn't have a moment of stress.
