Hello everyone
Bad night here.
After several days of heightened care following finding my favorite hen Pebbles(EE) down in the tractor we separated her and another hen into for special care and feeding(the other hen was just a companion) this afternoon Pebbles took a turn for the worse and she passed away around 5:30 this evening.
Yesterday she was holding her head up curious and able to balance again. I thought she may just make it. She even talked to me a bit yesterday and was so close to being able to stand up again.
I'm going to miss her in the worst possible way and miss her sweet talking to me. Miss her wanting up and jumping up to my arm. My sweet little owl.
Bwawk bwawk!
Goodbye my little Love. My little soulmate.
I love you Pebbles and the flock won't be the same without you. Neither will I.
You were the first chicken that showed me how chickens could surpass an interesting livestock and become a best friend.
Sneaking into the house to beg for tidbits. Always knowing I'd save the best treats for you.
Even a week ago when DH2B and I took out into the garden and dug piles of worms for you because it was all you'd eat those couple days. You running from my hole to his slurping worms like spaghetti.
Words can't express my broken heart and how much I already miss you.
Sweet dreams baby girl. Meet you at the bridge.
At bed check things didn't get any better. We lost another hen, our only second generation blue laced silver hen with amazing lacing. Purple comb. Looks to have been fatty liver disease or possibly heart failure due to fatty liver. Lots of fat deposits she was an extremely healthy hen. It was hot here today but she was out running around as normal. Dead under the roost at bed check.
Hang in there the best you can.
