I also lost a hen to a uterine infection earlier this year. Her name was Sandy.The vet said she had come to us with an infection throughout her reproductive tract and that it was extensive. She said there was really nothing we could have done, but even so I really felt bad letting her down that way.She was older. And I could see from the time I laid eyes on her despite a lack of training that something must be wrong. But I felt at least we could maybe make her comfortable. But we couldn’t.
I blame myself because I didn't get her a hysterectomy while she was healthy enough to recover from it. But the vet kindly blames economic pressures for forcing people to breed hens that lay fast and die young.

I’m so very sorry! And for making it worse as I must have.

So... I just hope you know that to this stranger’s eyes, that photo shows all the love and care that ever could have been. And thanks for showing it, too.
