My beloved Cochy died today

[Chickaroo!]

Awww, I'm sorry to hear such sad news. :aww It's hard to lose your pet and even harder when it's your favorite. My favorite passed away last month and I still miss her terribly. My thoughts are with you. I know you were a good chicken mommy to her and I'm sure she felt all the love you gave her.

I'm so sorry Kris. My standard black (Hazel) is a dear. I would feel such a loss also.
My sympathies.

No words can explain how sad you can become when you lose a friend. Be it a animal friend or a human friend, they both affect that same place in our hearts.
You must be grateful that you held her to see her into the green pastures, where she can chase butterflies, and eat all she wants to with angels feeding her goodies by hand.
Be proud to have loved her, be strong when you fall in love with another baby girl chicken.
God bless,
Kel

ps- you held her. She realized in some distant part of her heart, you needed to know how and when. If she did not trust you, she would have crawled off into a hiding spot. Be fortunate you have that closure. Hugs.

Oh Kris, I am so sorry to hear about Cochy.

She was a beautiful girl and I know that she was very loved. Thanks for sharing your stories about her.

I had my first hen loss last weekend to internal laying. Rosemary a RIR and she was only 1 yr & 4 months old. She wasn't my most cuddly or social girl, but I was still shocked.

I am sorry Kim and Chickaroo for your recent losses also.

Thanks everyone and thank you Kellie for the special thoughts. About chasing butterflies whenever she wants in green green pastures.

If I would have let her stay outside with the girls instead of bringing her in with Freddy this wouldnt have happened. She was just too hot. I know I am responsible for her death and I am having a very hard time with it. I just didnt realise what had happened until after words. I would just keep her and Freddy and get rid of all my other chickens if I could do it over. I dont think I am cut out for this. They are too much like pets to me and then I dont need so many. O I am sorry. thank you for listening to me. I am not making much sense right now. My head is hurting from holding back the tears.


Coch and Fred would go for rides in the car with me and then get out and do stuff. One place I took them there was a picnic table and I would sit there and they would just walk around and graze and dust and be chickens. They went to Spooner with me. I took them to the community garden with me one day and boy o boy did they have fun. They were going up and down the rows of vegetables, but they only ate bugs. We were there for about three hours. When it was time to go I had to look all over for them and found them three gardens down from me in a corn patch (oops). Luckily they didnt do any dammage.

Freddy seems a bit lonely. I held him last night on my lap and cried and petted behind his ear and he fell asleep in my lap. It was so sweet yet sad. Today he seems kinda lost.

Hope you let another little girl into your heart for you and freddy. I know it can be hard to lose them. Sat I lost my ygold, redgold, indian ringneck and male chucker from all the rain we got from Fay. I felt like giving up birds, but i love them too much.
