Lost my favorite girl last night. 1st time losing a chicken. Does it get easier😭

My silkie girl doesn't always make it in the coop before the automatic door closes. I check religiously every night to make sure she's in. I was sick in bed and did a half ass check that she wasn't on the ramp like usual. I'm not sure what happened. She is gone. No feathers or body. I am heartbroken

It's always hard to lose them, especially favorites. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry you lost her.
It is always hard.

I'm so sorry!
My favorite bird just passed away a few weeks ago too. But it's ok, it happens, and it's not your fault

You get through it but sometimes you just don't get over it.... I have had many go to The Rainbow Bridge, so lots of sadness over the years, but I'd be worse off if I never had any hens at all.

Years ago my Little Brown Hen, Wilma, disappeared when time to put all my girls into the run for the night. I searched frantically EVERYWHERE, past dark. She was nowhere. Crying, sleepless night, opened the run the next morning, turned around and there was Wilma at the barn door!! Never felt such joy and relief as in that moment. It can happen.
