Berri didn't make it, this morning she decided food and water wasn't her thing anymore and she declined very quickly. Only my 2nd chick I've lost and I know these things happen so I'm okay with it better her to rest now than suffer but now I have new issue the other chick she was with seems very sad now and she is super healthy i don't want to loose her too has anyone delt with depressed chicks and can it be fatal? I am having trouble finding another chick in my area close to me and I can't drive back to where we got her from because it's such a long drive

Oooooo I JUST FOUND THIS THREAD!!!! Cochins are my absolute FAVORITE CHICKEN BREED EVER!!!!! You can vote for them here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/897516/favorite-breed-poll I have a cochin that I raised and she thinks of me as her mother. She follows me everywhere, in cold weather she likes to snuggle, and she loves for me to carry her. Here she is:

I also LOVE Cochins! I went and voted for them

You need to find a chick, any chick. They need company. No feed store chicks near you?

Craig's List, I found guinea keets. I ended up with one keet out of a dozen shipped eggs so I had to find more fast. I got a couple of Cortinex quail chicks, but they are so passive the smaller keet pushed them around for awhile until they settled. I wouldn't recommend them as companions for chicks.
