So sorry for the losses and illness. It is so sad to lose such sweet natured friends. That terrible sorrow is one reason why I remain chickenless right now----their lives are so short and it just hurts so much when they leave us. Sending good thoughts to Eastbay and Foghorn's Dad. Hugs to you both.

I'm still crying about this. How on earth did this sweet little BO work her way into my heart like this? I never wanted chickens to be "pets" which is why we didn't name them, but she was so sweet and solid gold so we could not keep from calling her Honey.

I just had this same problem. One week inside and a lot of reading and I cured the problem....

So sorry for your loss.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

My roo died today, and I just sat on the couch cuddling his little body crying my eyes out.

I know how it feels.......

I'm so sorry for all of your losses. I lost my first hen, Apricot, to a weasel (along with a New Jersey Giant rooster, Seth, and Apricot's sister, Peach) in the spring of 2007. She was my first chicken ever and wasn't even a year old yet. She had spent a peaceful spring day with her sister and rooster, eating grass and enjoying the weather after being locked up most of the harsh winter. The next day she was gone. Her sister and her each left us an egg before they died.

I was so sad and still am sad about it today.


But we all must remember that while it is terribly sad to us and we wish that they hadn't died, especially if we had bonded so much with them, they are now up in heaven and are at peace. It's OK to miss them, but try not to feel sorry for them. Remember that they must all be up there together, free ranging together and eating the most delicious grass they have ever had and taking wonderful dust baths.

Remember how peaceful and happy they must be, and it will make you feel better because you know that they will be OK and someday you will see them. And what an amazing, wonderful day that will be, when you are reunited with those that you cried over when they passed. And I'm sure they will be just as happy to see you, too!

Hi Eastbay,
Just read about Honey - so very sorry you have lost your Honey - I have one named Honey and she is very special to me, she was the first chicken to approach me after I bought her home with a few others - she used to fly up onto my shoulders and she still does when she wants attention - she loves being petted and responds to her name - I can't imagine life without my Honey so I can appreciate your feelings - it is good to express your emotions and I would be devastated as you are to lose one of your special friends - my heart goes out to you - take strength in the fact that she was yours and your life has been enhanced by having her enrich it for you - you will never forget her!
Be proud that she was yours!
Best wishes
Suzie
