My first loss!

[Spunky~Chick~Mom]

I got 8 chicks from an hatchery order that I had split with someone. My first chicks EVER! My fam was excited.

Well i have had them for right at 3 weeks now. I looked in brood box day before yesterday and Lucelle our blue andalusian was not walking around.
So I immediately got her up and fixed her a new separate brood box. My Hubby and I babied her for a while and put her in the box. She had not moved much yesterday. She acted as if her leg was injured. So, I was hoping that if it was her leg she would snap out of it. Well, Last night after 11 I went in to check on her and she had died.

This makes me so sad! Even more because I really don't know what was wrong with her. Now I am worried about the others.

I just needed to tell people who would understand how I feel!

here is a picture of her a week ago. Lucelle is the darker one. That is her sister Gray beside her.
