Sh... happens! Take it in proportion! In the end its only a chicken!

True, but I invested a lot in getting some Heritage RIR and of the thirteen from one group I only got four pullets. She was the best, and one of only two that were close enough to SOP for breed. I have two other pullets I got from a big breeder a bit older. Without the one I only have a pair and a trio for breeding. It is very frustrating. All my hatchery egg layers are fine, but my breeding plans took a hit. I cannot afford to spend the money for more because too true they are just chickens.

Chrissy was nibbling my fingers when I put the mirror in.

Offered her food again, still no response...

Banti - might I suggest putting honey in her water or otherwise making a sugar solution? To get a few calories in her short term until you can figure out how to get food into her (or she does it herself)? I agree with Dax that you don't want her to go without for too long. The sugar solution (or honey) might be a bridge and perk her up.

eeeeeee! today is our christmas and I got a BYC calender! and these:

and a subscription to Chicken magazine

I lost her. The best of my four of the six HRIR pullets. She was point of lay so I could not even save her genetics

WHY is it always the best ones or our favorites? I have over twenty layers in a pen none of which are important and they are all fine of course.

George Jensen posted once or twice on the Breeding for Production thread: "Remember, all of your very best birds have targets on their back." He was making a point about having back up roosters for a breeding program in this case. He claimed that it always seemed to the be best or the favorite that would get sick or attacked.

AN unhappy thought, but I can't tell you how many times it has been good to remember that as I think about my birds and their housing, and also back ups...
