Yep that's a crummy BAD day and so sad for your son also. I hope you will someday be able to hatch some Swedish Flower chicks soon. Hope you have a better day.
Yeah, he was really upset and felt horrible. All the boys were crying. They love the chicks. I pooped the dead chick in the freezer, as it was pouring down rain, so we can have a chick funereal later today.
His impulse control isn't great, and apparently he decided on a whim to get the chick out yesterday, so I locked the brooder to prevent further accidents.
