Some of you may know me, but at the end of January I hatched some eggs from my favorite hen that passed. These eggs had been in the refrigerator for up to a week. Out of 4 eggs 2 hatched. Mind you these were the first four eggs that this pullet laid. I named them Nug Nug and Downy. They lived in my room for almost 2 months because it was cold outside. Finally they moved out. Tonight I went out to lock them up and collect eggs. Nug Nug was on her back covered in gnats and Downy was squished between the wall and feeder in the same condition. I am really sad. These are my babies! Special miracle babies. They did nit deserve to die at three months old. I assume the cause of death is suffocation from gnats. I am still crying. It just makes me sick. Rest in Peace Nug Nug and Downy. I love you forever and always!!! ❤
