Yesterday I lossed my dear sweet Lucy. She was one of my first 4 chicks and was only 11 weeks old. I miss her soooooo much. She was so pretty she had a beautiful buff head and neck feathers with black down feathers I wish we could have saved her. I think she was stepped on by the bigger hen and clasped a lung as she was lethargic and breathing very hard when I found her she lived for 2 days after that before she passed peacefull. I thought she was egg bound and was treating her for that. I miss you Lucy sooo sooo much
These are her at a week old. For some reason the day day she spent her last night with her friends before I found her andI took her inside I took a picture of her cuddling with her friends I'm so glad I did now it was the last picture I ever got to take her.

I'm sorry for your loss. :hugs
 
Yes it is. They usually start laying 16-22 wks.
I am considering that she was not egg bound and possibly got stepped by another chicken her comb was starting to turn black when she passed away so I'm thinking maybe a broken rib or collapsed lung or her lungs didn't grow for her and she just grew out of them it happened so fast
 
I’m so sorry for you loss😔 It’s always hard to lose a pet you love
