Here lately my birds have been dying one after another.... I had a guinea break its leg and died, Quite a few chickens get squashed by a door and then today one broke its neck...... Nothing wrong with them just clumsy chicks lol......

Also, I've seen a few broken legs in chickens and haven't had any of them die from it.

Hmmm. If a door killed one chicken or chick, it would never kill another again. For sure.

This!!

About a week after I let my girls into their run for the first time, one of them made a mad dash to follow me out the door. My back was to her and I didn't see her until the door was already closing and she got her head caught in the frame. For one horrifying moment I thought I killed my chick! I'm queasy just remembering it. Luckily she was just dazed and was fine the next day. Lesson learned for this chicken momma!! Now I make SURE there's no chick anywhere near the door when it's closing!

Sorry, but that's awful to joke about losing "quite a few" to being "squashed" by a door.

I am sorry to everyone if I made my post sound as awful as it did.... The door incident was one incident where the coop door had fallen off of the hinge and landed on about four chicks at once whom all died. That situation is fixed now..... The guineas broken leg now that is a helpless situation, one of my guineas got stuck in my neighbors fence and twisted its leg at the joint.... I cleaned the wound and splinted it along with daily cleanings, after about 4 days the leg turned green and started to smell so we put it out of its misery...... And as far as the broken neck issue yes the same thing happened to me as it did you 6of6chicks except I didn't find it till the next time I went out to the pen....... So to EVERYONE who was saying how terrible of a chick owner I am and how careless I am you are wrong...... I love all of my animals and hate to lose any but as I am getting started I am also learning, so before you jump all over someone why don't you ask questions and get your facts straight..... This website is not for gossip or for fighting it is for positive insight and getting to know and learn about others experiences...... So yes I do apologize for misleading everyone but don't get rude about it no one is perfect..... Have a nice day........




PS: This post was not a joke I was getting my frustration with the situation out and just had to vent..... Yes I did throw an lol in there but that's just me....

don't let easily offended people bother you, you'll find that you can't please everyone on the internet. i understood exactly what you meant but i tend to think things through without overreacting. carry on. i lost a chicken this week too... got her leg caught up in the door opening's pull string and beat herself to death trying to get loose. live and learn i suppose.

Thanks I appreciate this.... And I will be the first to admit that the first post did sound awful and yes I need to ease off on my over use of the term lol haha but I was just venting not even asking for others opinion on the situation so thank you..... I hate loosing birds as well and I believe everything is under control now haha.....
