my chicken sees my dog everyday up close almost. And then she just ran around paniced then went limpHas your chicken regularly see the dog, or was it the first time? Did the dog walk up and then the chicken panicked, or did it happen while the dog was looking?
People start to stink after 3 days.... Its sooner for chickens though.One way to know for sure. Wait a couple of days.![]()
Hope can't bring a dead animal back to life - GOD can, if He's asked and sees the need, but trust me, she's gone to heaven.
I've lost so many chickens to different causes, watched two of them die in my sister's and dad's arms, and even had to make the choice to put almost half my flock down in order to keep the rest from getting sick (crap now I'm crying). My "name" PeepersMama is for the coolest chicken I've ever owned, Peep, and Lord help me cuz i MISS that chicken. A LOT
No joke, I'm in tears now.
The poor girl is in heaven now. Almost every chicken I've found dead (usually from internal laying) has been in that exact position. Could very well be why she died, it kills so fast.... Under 12 hours in my experience.
Believe me i know, it SUCKS to loose a chicken. But they die, as does everything else at some point.
@XChickenCrossingX i can tell she was well taken care of. Her feathers are in beautiful shape.![]()

My dear child, the person posting was being facetious.Well,, good thing i begged my mom not to freeze or bury it.
Birds are prey animals. Even if the bird and the dog have been together before, something can set a bird into a panic. I have had my 23 year old parrot suddenly fly just because the volume changed on the TV. Then she says, "OK OK". She was afraid, and then calms herself by saying what I say. Chickens are smart, but all birds are prey animals and take flight when startled.my chicken sees my dog everyday up close almost. And then she just ran around paniced then went limp
