My Friendliest Chicken Died Today - I'm So sad

Now Derp, Domino, Betty, and Boofy are stealing treats together!

So sorry for your loss. Had my first four chickens today all go at once (the family dogs broke through the bottom of the nestingbox somehow and attacked all of them in their sleep.) wasn't until I went to let them out for the day that I found them all. I needed to read some nice posts on others who went through the same. They were all pretty much babies ranging from like 6-10 weeks. I'm really going to miss them. Our older new hens (in an apparently
More secure coop) are luckily still alright, but aren't at all friendly or cuddly as my little ones. Glad to see I'm not like taking it too hard and others feel the same as I did about my little birds.

This was my darling little hen Derp. She was probably the ugliest chicken we've ever had, with her severe scissor beak and extra long neck. What she lacked in beauty, she made up with adorable and funny behavior. She followed me everywhere chattering all the while. I usually ended up carrying her because she was so underfoot. Yesterday she took a drastic, sudden downward spiral and she passed away about an hour ago. I really don't know what was wrong except the weather here changed quickly, becoming very cold. But she had water and dry shelter so I don't know. I brought her in the house last night so she would be warm. At least she had the best possible care all her life. I'll miss this crazy hen.

Derp sneaking in to treats- love it!

I am sooooo sorry for your lost. I loss mine a few days ago I am broken . She was the pack of the leader. When she heard me she always came to me
