How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[EmmaDonovan]

Lost one of my hens today.
She hadn't been laying, her last proper egg was from a year ago. She had been dealing with a bloated abdomen since June or July, it would come and go, I gave Amoxicillin every time she started filling up and so I'm guessing it helped cause it went down after a bit. The bloating was actually going down the past few days. But today I let everyone out and she was slow and acting sick. I took her in and treated her, after a couple hours she started really declining so I took her outside and laid her in the yard, since I felt she was about to pass. She passed no more than 10 minutes after putting her out there.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry you lost your hen. I dread the day that I lose my hens Darlin and Little One. They are my first and favorite girls. Best wishes to you.

I’m so sorry for your loss Tookie. It sounds like she was very loved and well cared for to have reached 10 years old.

You gave her a wonderful full life, and that’s the best any chicken owner can hope for. It’s still sad to part with our sweet companions even so. I wish they could live so much longer.
