Brings tears to my eyes! Thank you Cetawin for those nice words for Cyn and Ivy!

It's in her eyes. She wants to go, I think, and doesn't know how. How do you tell a chicken it's OK to go on?

How many of us have cried on this thread today, I wonder.

I wish you had more little girls of hers, Cynthia.

Maybe Cyn can go out to her tonight and pet her and let her know it is ok to go. Even Ivy may not want to go but she will find in her sweet time when to go.

When my own girl, Paris, died of this in November, she seemed to know it was time. I had wrapped her in a towel to keep her warm, and taken her outside to see all her flock mates. They all came over and clucked at her, then went on their way. We sat there quietly, and less than 15 minutes later, she seized and died.

Somehow Ivy doesn't want to let go.

Rita lingered through much of the morning from the time I first found her, around 6:30 in the morning, to when she finally passed around 11-ish. I cried and cried for the impending departure of my sweet little friend. But I found the strength to tell her it was OK to complete her journey to the other side. Though I would miss her horribly, i would far rather she go ahead to that better place, than stay just to ease my pain. Within about 15 minutes of telling her it was alright to go, she passed peacefully in my arms.

Maybe Ivy is just waiting for you to tell her it's time to go?

I've often felt that some special birds love us just as much as we love them. Ivy and Rita are my proof positive of that belief!

Oh poor sweet Ivy, I hope she passes peacefully and you can always remember her fondly

EweSheep..you are welcome. I said it to the winds when I typed it...I hope she hears me.

I have shed tears in this thread and will not deny that. I called Cyn today to tell her about my dream...I did believe Ivy passed last night. I dreamt clearly Cyn walking from Suede's coop holding Ivy and she was crying. I could not go back to sleep until well after 5 this morning...I prayed for Ivy to let go and pass away before Cyn awoke.

I am not ashamed to say it...I will pray the same prayer tonight. I do not want Cyn and/or Tom to be forced to help Ivy. It will be too hard for them. So

please sweet Ivy...let go, it is time sweet girl, you will not be forgotten as long as live
