I'm Heartbroken

[Dottie the Chicken]

Just some minutes ago I went over to my henhouse of 68 chickens to open up and give them water. I opened the door and saw my sweet Lucille, silver laced wyandotte with a single comb hatched in March, on the floor dead. Chickens were picking at her dead body. I didn't notice anything wrong with her last night! Though I also didn't sit and study every birds behavior either. I'm heartbroken! I know God's in control, but this is the first time in a while I've balled so hard.

I am so sorry! I’m sure God doesn’t mind if you cry so let it out.

I’m so sorry!!! I know some people don’t have a bond with a chicken but I had a beautiful hen who was nicer than my dog who passed away almost a year ago and I’m still pretty sad about it. Her name is midnight I’m sorry once again for your loss! It’s really hard to lose an animal that was close to you

She was beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss. We recently lost a two week old chick. I too balled my eyes out, and we hadn't even had him/her for very long. But, still heartbreaking. Cry it out, only chicken people understand that bond....hugs

Ahhhhhh she was beautiful, I am so sorry for your loss. Jesus has you in his hands holding you, let the tears out. I lost my 1st and only Easter Egger when she was only 3 months old and I was devastated. I cried for days, she was my favorite of the flock and loved to snuggle her head into my hair and take a nap. God heals our pain in time. *hugs*
